Worldwide HPC Server Application Workloads Market Forecast Update, 2018–2023

HPC in the cloud has undergone significant growth in the past few years, attracting new users and more fully supporting existing users. Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) are key to this growth as they are taking a stronger interest in the HPC market, focusing on delivering capabilities that more closely match on-premise systems in performance, security, and in some cases, price. This major shift in the sector has prompted Hyperion Research to revise its HPC cloud forecast to include an additional $1 billion in 2019, up from its original $3 billion.

This Hyperion Research study presents the latest five-year forecast (2021-2026) for HPC on-premises Supercomputer systems by subsegments. Overall, the Supercomputer market segment for HPC systems priced at $500,000 or more is projected to represent nearly half of the server market throughout the forecast, reaching $9.5 billion in 2026. This is heavily driven by the large exascale systems expected to be accepted in 2022 to 2026.
