5. Introduction: Logistics • Ask Mary if you need a receipt • Meals and events • Joint meeting with DICE/Avetec • Tuesday and Wednesday dinner plans • We have a very tight agenda (as usual) • Please help us keep on time! • Review handouts • Note: We will post most of the presentations on the web site • Please complete the evaluation form

6. HPC User Forum Mission • To Improve The Health Of The • High-performance Computing Industry • Through Open Discussions, Information-sharing And Initiatives Involving • HPC Users In Industry, Government And Academia • Along With HPC Vendors • And Other Interested Parties

7. HPC User Forum Goals • Assist HPC users in solving their ongoing computing, technical and business problems • Provide a forum for exchanging information, identifying areas of common interest, and developing unified positions on requirements • By working with users in other sectors and vendors • To help direct and push vendors to build better products • Which should also help vendors become more successful • Provide members with a continual supply of information on: • Uses of high end computers, new technologies, high end best practices, market dynamics, computer systems and tools, benchmark results, vendor activities and strategies • Provide members with a channel to present their achievements and requirements to interested parties

8. HPC Server Market Size By Competitive Segments (2009 Data) HPC Servers $8.6B Workgroup (under $100K) $1.7B Supercomputers (Over $500K) $3.4B Divisional ($250K - $500K) $1.1B Departmental ($250K - $100K) $2.5B

9. Top Trends in HPC The global economy is still impacting HPC  HPC declined 11.6% for 2009 overall • 2008 was down 3% • A major change from the 19% yearly growth over prior years • But the high end grew 25% in 2009 • We are forecasting growth starting in 2010 Major challenges for datacenters: • Power, cooling, real estate, system management • Storage and data management continue to grow in importance Software hurdles will rise to the top for most users • Driven heavily by multi-core processors and hybrid systems • Application scaling and performance is a problem • SSDs will gain momentum and could redefine storage • GPGPUs are starting to gain ground

10. IDC Top 10 HPC Predictions for 2010 • The HPC Market Will Resume Growth in Mid-2010 • The Race For Global Leadership Will Turbo-Charge the Supercomputers Segment • In 2010 Evolutionary Change Will Trump Revolutionary Change • Commoditization Will Increasingly Level the Playing Field For HPC Competition • The Highly Parallel Programming Challenge Will Increase • X86 Processors Will Dominate, But GPGPUs Will Gain Traction As x86 Hits the Wall • Infiniband Will Continue To Gain HPC Market Share • HPC Storage Will Outpace the HPC Server Market Recovery • Power and Cooling Efficiency Will Become More Important, But Is Not Far Along Today • Cloud Computing May Be Coming To A Neighborhood Near You

11. HPC Vendor Revenue Shares, 2009

12. HPC Market Shares By Segment

13. Why HPC Is Projected To Grow • It has become a competitive weapon • For companies, universities and governments • Global competitiveness is driving R&D and better product designs • Even small companies can use HPC to gain market share • Governments view HPC leadership as critical • For national pride, but more importantly for economic prosperity • US, EU, China, Japan and even Russia • It use to be 1 large supercomputer – now its multiple ones • $30M was enough ten years ago, now its over $100M • There are very critical HPC issues that need to be solved • Global warming, alternative energy, safe NE, financial disaster modeling, healthcare, homeland security, … • And 3D movies and large scale games are fun • At the same time, “live” science and “live” engineering costs have escalated • And time-to-solution is months faster with simulations

14. The HPC Market Will Resume Growth In Mid-2010 • Our latest forecast has HPC server revenue growing 6% to 7% reaching $11 billion by 2013

15. Industry/Application Segments 2010 to 2014 Growth Sectors

16. Growth In The Broader HPC Market

17. Conclusions • 2010 will be a year of continuing evolutionary rather than revolutionary change in the worldwide HPC market • Incremental advances will help, but not resolve persistent issues, such as highly parallel programming challenges, power and cooling costs, and software licensing costs • IDC predicts the HPC market will resume growth in mid-2010 and grow 5% to 7% in 2010 • And then will gradually rebuild to $10.5 billion in 2013 • The recovery will benefit HPC segments unevenly: • With hard-hit verticals such as automotive and financial services recovering more slowly than oil and gas, or government and academia • The Supercomputer segment growth will remain turbo-charged by government spending aimed at HPC leadership and “petaflop club” membership

18. Essential Guidance • Existing major challenges will remain inadequately addressed: • Weak application performance improvements • Highly parallel programming • System imbalance (the "memory wall") • Power and space usage • Finding and developing HPC experts • Software licensing costs • Ease-of-use – dealing with the growing system complexity
