HPC applications are currently limited to Government, Research Labs, Universities & Industries such as Oil & Gas, Financial & Bioinformatics where computationally intense Apps are neeed. Some companies such as Appro offers latest CPUs & Nvidia Tesla GPU based solutions for HPC (High Performance Computing) deployment. Tesla us built on massively parallel NVIDIA CUDA architecture.
HPC machine such as Appro HyperPower delivers 78TF Single Precision or 6.56TF double precision GPU performance. Intel Xeon CPUs & Nvidia GPUs are used in HPC machines.
Upto 456CPUs or 18240 GPUs are used in a rack configuration.
