HP collaborative efforts in the HPC market Our collaborative efforts with hardware vendors and ISVs help to bring HPC capabilities into the reach of more organizations. We collaborate with accelerator and graphics card vendors to help ensure their products work well in HPC cluster environments, as proven by the large number of accelerators we've qualified (see Tables 2 and 3). We collaborate with ISVs to help advance development of HPC applications for industry-specific solutions. One example is our collaboration with oil and gas (O&G) industry ISVs to run seismic analysis and reservoir-modeling applications on ProLiant supercomputer clusters with GPGPU accelerators. O&G companies use our supercomputer clusters to render terabytes of 3D seismic data in high-definition. This allows them to better visualize complex geologic formations and discover reserves that were previously impossible to find. O&G companies are also discovering that ProLiant supercomputer clusters with GPGPU accelerators provide similar performance but require less space, power, and capital than larger CPU clusters. HP HPC partner ecosystem Our expanding HPC partner ecosystem includes solution and development partners. Solution partners provide hardware and software products you can use to custom-build an HPC system. We have established relationships with a robust portfolio of solution partners in the following industries: Computer-aided design Electronic design automation Finance HPC tools and libraries Molecular dynamics Oil & Gas Video and rendering Development partners make tools such as compilers, debuggers, and libraries that the solution partners use to manufacture their products. Our development partners include Allinea, MATLAB, Rogue Wave, Wolfram, The Portland Group (PGI), and others. You can find more information on HP HPC solution and development partners and up-to-date data on qualified acceleration products at www.hp.com/go/accelerators. Conclusion This paper described how HP is making HPC more affordable and accessible to more organizations by leveraging industry-standard and open technologies. As of the publication date, we provide GPGPUs on 14 different ProLiant servers in multiple configurations. We jointly engineer and test these systems with products from leading acceleration hardware and software partners to ensure reliability in a broad range of HPC environments. Our expanding partner ecosystem can provide HPC solutions to meet the unique needs of your organization. 7
