November 20186 The world of high performance computing (HPC) is evolving rapidly, and is becoming increasingly pervasive in new industries. As data takes the center stage today, HPC is helping businesses to solve complex and intensive computing challenges. HPC adoption is growing beyond research institutions, governments, and massive critical enterprises, empowering business users and decision makers from across numerous industries to make informed decisions. Industries like finance, logistics, manufacturing, big science, and oil and gas are striving to expand the application of HPC into traditional enterprise computing, which is often limited to big data. As HPC spreads its wings into new markets, its workload is also expanding in the form of videos and text processing, pattern, speech, and facial recognition, simulation of automotive devices, and seismic and genomic analysis. It is evident that more innovative HPC solutions are coming to the forefront to empower organizations to push the boundaries of their capabilities and glean faster, more accurate insights from their data. The convergence of AI and HPC is fueling the innovation, making HPC more productive and responsive. Cloud is another catalyst that is boosting the adoption of HPC because of its scalability and elasticity. As HPC users move swiftly to adopt cloud to meet their growing application needs, they are also benefiting from rapid advances in GPUs, storage, and networking. In this expeditiously developing HPC landscape, organizations are looking for solution providers who can help them curtail the existing predicaments and deliver better results. In this special edition, APAC CIO Outlook delivers an extensive view of the challenges, opportunities, and cutting-edge solutions available in the HPC arena. Let us know your thoughts.
