Virtualization and HPC
October 28, 2011 by
Brian Proffitt writes that while Virtualization has a strong appeal in the enterprise, it has yet to catch on in HPC. Realistically, there are few reasons why a virtualization solution, when properly deployed, would not be appropriate for an HPC task set, as many of the early bugaboos have been removed by new innovation and performance […]
