Sustainability is the societal goal of existing on this planet in a way that meets the needs of today without compromising the needs of future generations. Sustainability in terms of the HPC market can be described as meeting the needs of present users without compromising the needs of future users, with a focus on the extraordinary power requirements of HPC systems. Over the past few years, Hyperion Research has been tracking the growing influence the goal of sustainability has had on HPC procurement decision-making at various HPC sites around the world. HPC site managers/directors have had to consider the current global energy crisis and geopolitical climate alongside the HPC market, and begin planning and implementing ways to make HPC operations at their sites more sustainable.

Expertise is a Major Concern for Both HPC and AI Users
Melissa Riddle and Mark Nossokoff
Expertise is now a major concern for both HPC and AI users, outranked only by budget concerns among top barriers to expanding HPC on-premises. A third of HPC sites (33.1%) reported that lack of knowledge or skilled support staff was one of their top three barriers. Only a third of respondents (35.4%) report that they do not have any staffing concerns within the next year. When asked about barriers to furthering AI capabilities, AI-specific expertise was identified as a significant concern. Other significant barriers also included access to AI expertise (48.9%), skills in AI model development (47.2%), and skills in AI programming (36.1%). 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.
