#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.”

Interesting read: @jonmasters uses the return of @PGelsinger to @intel as an excuse to talk about how the semiconductor world has changed with a small number of #cloud vendors calling the shots

#HPC #AI
@jonmasters 2/
The future has only 6 or 7 customers driving demand

They are both extremely sophisticated AND more than capable of taking matters into their own hands, in-house

They’re larger than any of the component suppliers from which they source their compute needs today

#Cloud
@jonmasters 3/

The “lock in” of the next decade won’t be literally “your software only runs on my #Cloud but more that it “runs better on my cloud”

Because I coupled a “right sized” design with the right accelerators and made it “just work”!
