What is High Performance Computing?• Computing that pushes the limits of available performance
• Computing that requires more than can be delivered from a single processor, desktop, workstation or server
• Computing that demands specialized program optimizations to get the most from a system in terms I/O, computation, and data movement
Supercomputing is not the same as HPC.
HPC includes a broad range of systems, not just big-iron supercomputers.

HPC and Moore’s law
The number of transistors that can be placed on a single die will
double every 24 months
How did we do so far ?Moore´s Law applied to the travel industry• A flight from New York to Paris

SGISGI®® Altix Altix®® 4700 and 450 4700 and 450Performance for Large Data and Scalable AppsPerformance for Large Data and Scalable Apps
Altix 4700 / 450:• Scales to 1024 cores, memory address to over 100TB• Scale compute, memory-only, I/O as needed• Unmatched MPI efficiency
Customer Profile – Identifying Altix Candidates:• Customers focused on developing new algorithms & doing new science• Any target segment (HPC, Government, Enterprise) with workload profiles that include:
• Large datasets (>32GB)• A wide range of application types and sizes, especially jobs that require more than 16-32
core• Applications that must scale beyond 8 core and have not been tuned to run well on clusters
(not using message passing to scale).• Performance sweet spots in implicit CAE, chemistry, IMDB, Oracle
• Any project with very demanding data-handling capability, IO or memory-bound applications• Upgrading or migrating an Origin system • RC-100 (FPGA/RASC) opportunities • Low-cost standards based RISC replacement, considering Linux as strategic platform for
future
