What is High Performance Computing? Computing that pushes the limits of available performance Computing that requires more than can be delivered from a single processor, desktop, workstation or server Computing that demands specialized program optimizations to get the most from a system in terms I/O, computation, and data movement Supercomputing is not the same as HPC. HPC includes a broad range of systems, not just big-iron supercomputers. Supercomputing is not the same as HPC. HPC includes a broad range of systems, not just big-iron supercomputers.

HPC and Moore’s law The number of transistors that can be placed on a single die will double every 24 months

How did we do so far ? Moore´s Law applied to the travel industry A flight from New York to Paris
