Supercomputing Applications and Innovations at CINECA

Survey respondents cited GPUs as the most anticipated processing element within the next 12-18 months at a rate of 74%. When asked about which processing elements they expect to be incorporated into their HPC/AI/HPDA computing resources, the majority of respondents across all sectors expected GPUs to be first (74.0%) and TPUs (24.3%) as next most anticipated. Government and academia respondents reported the highest expectation at a rate of 84%. This data is from the eighth annual study of Hyperion Research's high-performance computing (HPC) end-user-based tracking of the HPC marketplace. It included 181 HPC end-user sites with 3,830 HPC systems.

According to recent study results, a quarter of HPC users (28.2%) either currently employ edge computing or expect to within two years. The top motivators driving edge computing growth include improving real-time data collection and processing, accelerating HPC applications, access to IoT devices for data collection, and a wider range of sensor data. Top deterrents dampening edge computing growth include complex and varied IoT formats, inadequate edge vendor support, lack of in-house expertise for integration, and the cost of integrating into existing infrastructure. 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.
