High Performance Data Analysis
The traditional HPC and commercial markets have been converging as established HPC users increase their use of newer analytics methods and commercial firms turn to HPC for mission-critical analytics problems that enterprise technology alone can’t handle adequately. Key verticals exploiting HPDA include financial services, healthcare/bioinformatics, energy, cybersecurity/fraud, manufacturing, online retailers and service providers, digital content creation, telecommunications, government, and academia. Key horizontal applications include simulation, fraud and anomaly detection, business intelligence/business analytics, machine learning/deep learning, affinity marketing, and advanced visualization.
