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

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 Server Market Size By Competitive Segments (2009 Data) HPC Servers $8. 6 B Workgroup (under $100 K) $1. 7 B Supercomputers (Over $500 K) $3. 4 B Divisional ($250 K - $500 K) $1. 1 B Departmental ($250 K - $100 K) $2. 5 B

Top Trends in HPC The global economy is still impacting 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

IDC Top 10 HPC Predictions for 2010 1. The HPC Market Will Resume Growth in Mid-2010 2. The Race For Global Leadership Will Turbo-Charge the Supercomputers Segment 3. In 2010 Evolutionary Change Will Trump Revolutionary Change 4. Commoditization Will Increasingly Level the Playing Field For HPC Competition 5. The Highly Parallel Programming Challenge Will Increase 6. X 86 Processors Will Dominate, But GPGPUs Will Gain Traction As x 86 Hits the Wall 7. Infiniband Will Continue To Gain HPC Market Share 8. HPC Storage Will Outpace the HPC Server Market Recovery 9. Power and Cooling Efficiency Will Become More Important, But Is Not Far Along Today 10. Cloud Computing May Be Coming To A Neighborhood Near You

HPC Vendor Revenue Shares, 2009

HPC Market Shares By Segment

Why HPC Is Projected To Grow 1. 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 2. 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 $30 M was enough ten years ago, now its over $100 M 3. There are very critical HPC issues that need to be solved § Global warming, alternative energy, safe NE, financial disaster modeling, healthcare, homeland security, … § And 3 D movies and large scale games are fun 4. At the same time, “live” science and “live” engineering costs have escalated § And time-to-solution is months faster with simulations

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

Industry/Application Segments 2010 to 2014 Growth Sectors

Growth In The Broader HPC Market

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

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
