Percentage of HPC workloads run in containers Commentary § HPC-based container workloads are only a small percentage of overall HPC workloads § Almost 55% run less than 10% of their workloads on HPCbased containers § Minimal representation at >50% workloads HPC Containers Approximately what percentage of your total HPC workloads are run today in containers? Percent Responses Less than 5% of our current workload 61. 1% 33 Between 6% and 10% of our current workload 18. 5% 10 Between 11% and 25% of our current workload 11. 1% 6 Between 26% and 50% of our current workload 5. 6% 3 Between 51% and 75% of our current workload 1. 9% 1 More than 76% of our current workload 1. 9% 1 54 1

Percentage of HPC workloads run in containers in two years Commentary § Less than 5% of total workload in containers drops to 7. 4 % in two years vs. current 61% § Almost one third expect to be running between 11% and 25% § 42% expect to be running more than 26% of workloads on containers two years out HPC Containers In TWO YEARS, approximately what percentage of your HPC workloads will be run in containers? Percent Responses Less than 5% of our current workload 7. 4% 4 Between 6% and 10% of our current workload 18. 5% 10 Between 11% and 25% of our current workload 31. 5% 17 Between 26% and 50% of our current workload 27. 8% 15 Between 51% and 75% of our current workload 11. 1% 6 3. 7% 2 More than 76% of our current workload 54 2
