The Future of Cluster Computing

Overview Without a sustainable computing strategy, can today's commodity High-Performance Computing ("HPC") clusters take advantage of future hardware developments? How are technical markets driving high-end innovation? What are the keys to a sustainable design strategy? These are just a few of the important questions addressed in the white paper, "The Future of Cluster Computing." In addition to trends shaping today's HPC market, this paper discusses the need to develop sustainable hardware strategies to eliminate the hidden costs/high total cost of ownership of current white box cluster implementations.
