Introduction: Logistics • 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
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
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

Top Trends in HPC The global economy in HPC appears to have leveled off • The first half of 2010 grew by 2% • We are forecasting 3% to 5% growth in 2010 • The high end of the market grew by 65% in 2009! 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 • GPUs are seeing real tractions in certain verticals • The worldwide Race on Petascale is in full speed
HPC Server Market Size By Competitive Segments (first half of 2010) HPC Servers $4,131M Workgroup (under $100K) $699M Supercomputers (Over $500K) $1,386M Divisional ($250K - $500K) $572M Departmental ($250K - $100K) $1,474M
Conclusions • 2010 is a year of 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 2010 and grow by 3% to 5% in 2010 • And then will rebuild to exceed $11 billion by 2014 • The recovery will benefit HPC segments unevenly: • With hard-hit verticals such as automotive 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

Cloud Panel Q1 • When (if) will clouds be capable of replacing an entire large HPC data center? • Your center? • Someone’s else's that you know is a good fit? • If not, why not?
Cloud Panel Q2 • Could clouds ever handle, say 25% of your current HPC workload? • If not, why not?
Cloud Panel Q3 • One potential use of clouds is to run “backlog” workloads that are NOT currently high enough priority to run in your center • If the price was low enough would this be a good fit for clouds? • If not, why not?
Cloud Panel Q4 • Where else do you think clouds are a good fit today and within the next year?
