For the largest HPC system at the surveyed sites, the primary processor type for future system purchases was x86, at 85.2% of the sites, led by Intel (68.0%) and AMD (14.4%). The next largest identified primary processor was the IBM Power or OpenPower chips at 3.9%. Despite its growing visibility in the overall HPC sector, Arm-based components were only a small percentage of the overall processor space at 3.9%. This data is from an annual study that is part of the eighth edition of Hyperion Research’s HPC end-user-based tracking of the HPC marketplace. It included 181 HPC end-user sites with 3,830 HPC systems.
