DescriptionBig data is changing how people use supercomputing, and supercomputing is changing how people handle big data. Traditional supercomputing users are increasingly using analytics to process the massive amounts of data coming out of large simulations and to guide simulations and experiments in real time. Analytics users are increasingly using HPC techniques to accelerate analytics applications. And we’re seeing more hybrid simulation/analytics workflows.
With a more than 40-year history focused on HPC, Cray believes the convergence of supercomputing and big data is crucial to the success of the industry. We believe that big data analytics and traditional supercomputing benefit from similar system attributes, and that systems can and should be optimized to run both types of workloads.
Cray’s Chief Technology Officer, Steve Scott, will share his views on how the convergence of supercomputing and big data continues to change the traditional world of supercomputing.
