Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) in High-Performance Computing (HPC), promise the prospect of dramatically increasing HPC performance.
However, as we all know, achieving real-world performance is about much more than just the raw-performance of underlying hardware. Similar to a highly-efficient power plant connected to a distribution network that loses 70% of its power in transmission, HPC GPU clusters require thoughtful overall system design.
As compelling economics and performance drive GPUs into HPC clusters, developers are scrambling to catch up. Download this whitepaper from Platform Computing to understand what’s achievable today and how system architectures must evolve to capture the benefits of exciting new GPU capabilities.
