With Its New PowerXCell 8i Product Line, IBM Intends to Take Accelerated Processing Into the HPC Mainstream
Overview Fifteen years ago, the High-Performance Computing (HPC) market started to abandon its data-parallel, vector architectural lineage and turned to commodity-priced scalar processors. One by one, the other custom components of HPC systems have been pushed aside in favor of cheaper, standards-based alternatives. With some notable exceptions, most HPC system component technologies have been mainstreamed, a change driven by the price-performance advantages offered by standards-based components engineered to serve volume markets. Nothing reflects this more strongly than the fact that standards-based cluster sales based on x86 microprocessors were responsible for over 65% of the revenue generated in the HPC market in 2007, up from just a 20% share in 2003.
