High-performance computing (HPC) has grown to a point where it is a critical component of new technology advancements in academia and a wide array of industries in both the public and private sectors. Scientific research, public health, climate modeling, as well as oil and gas exploration are just a few examples where HPC is the driving force behind new innovations and knowledge discovery.

High Performance Computing (HPC) is one of the most important and fastest growing markets in the datacenter. It’s perhaps an overused term, but HPC as referring to applying massive computing resources to solve complex problems has become critical well beyond its start in scientific research. Multiple workloads from finance, retail, oil and gas, weather, engineering, and education leverage HPC today. Common to many of these applications is the importance of memory, and I/O bandwidth.
