Today’s research is crucial because it fuels tomorrow’s innovations. Increasingly, the speed and magnitude of innovations rely on technology-powered research and engineering using high performance computing (HPC). That’s why democratizing HPC via the cloud—known as Cloud for HPC—can provide significant benefits to all of humankind.
Cloud for HPC is helping to move HPC usage from fringe to mainstream, providing all researchers, engineers, and organizations access to this fundamental resource for innovation. There is, however, an important caveat: All Cloud for HPC solutions are not created equal. More on this in an upcoming section. First, let’s look at the organizational value of HPC-powered innovations.
