#Fugaku made the difference in getting the 2020 #HPC Market for on-prem compute to show minimal growth over 2019

@HPC_Hyperion Market Update at #ISC21

@HPC_Hyperion The folks at @HPC_Hyperion decided to divide the #Supercomputer segment into 3 categories

Leadership/#Exascale class systems are getting the big $$

#HPC #ISC21

@HPC_Hyperion Market forecast - 6.8% CAGR till 2024

#Exascale is the major factor for growth

#HPC

@HPC_Hyperion #Storage continues to have slightly higher growth than #HPC compute

@HPC_Hyperion #Exascale Market - just $11 billion :-)

#HPC #ISC21

@HPC_Hyperion #HPC in the #Cloud: Covid19 (2020-21) added ~$1 billion to cloud spend for HPC

"Hard" HPC jobs getting easier to run in cloud

Impact of #AI jobs in the #cloud

@HPC_Hyperion Complete #HPC Market picture including #cloud

@HPC_Hyperion Public #cloud spend will be 2nd largest segment for #HPC by 2024

@HPC_Hyperion Barriers to #HPC #Cloud adoption

Cost remains #1 concern!

@HPC_Hyperion Drivers for #HPC in the #Cloud

Burst capability and experimenting with new hardware are key drivers

@HPC_Hyperion #HPC in the #cloud will continue to grow!

@Azure getting the UK @metoffice contract is getting attention...

@HPC_Hyperion #AI is still at the start....

Only 87 years till we are expected to get to general artificial intelligence!

@HPC_Hyperion Almost all #HPC sites are involved in #AI today

@HPC_Hyperion How #AI factors into #HPC server forecast

@HPC_Hyperion #AI specific hardware - no shortage of funding for specialized chips

@HPC_Hyperion #HPC #Storage is an attractive market - both on-prem and #cloud

@HPC_Hyperion #Storage plans for DOE #HPC

@HPC_Hyperion US #Exascale systems are well known

Total spend ~$1.8B - average $600 million per system

Frontier is expected to be first Exascale system in US

#HPC #AI

@HPC_Hyperion FLOPS are not the best indicator, application performance is - something most #HPC folks know well

@HPC_Hyperion I am a huge fan of #Fugaku, but I do NOT consider it to be an #Exascale system

Perhaps the best of the pre-Exascale systems

#HPC #AI

@HPC_Hyperion #China remains a mystery ...

They have multiple #Exascale efforts - focus on moving away from US chip technology

When will they complete and when will they reveal?

#HPC #AI

@HPC_Hyperion EU plans - @EuroHpc systems planned include several Petascale systems and 3 #Exascale systems

#HPC #AI

@HPC_Hyperion UK (now divorced from EU) plans for #Exascale

#HPC #AI

@HPC_Hyperion Barriers for buying more on-prem #HPC

It's not just money, having the #datacenter facilities (power, cooling, space) is also a limiter

Talking about #cloud cost, here is an interesting article by @TDaytonPM

“at 50% utilization or so measured by wall clock time, the cloud is a bad answer for sustained workloads. Even with spot and reserved instances, even with discounts.”
