Peta Scale Grid Computing - Value to Businesses

Abstract

The need for HPC and Grid Computing is increasing to cater to the kind of problems that require solving. On one hand there is a need to solve ‘grand challenge’ problems to either to understand the Universe or sub-atomic structures. On the other hand, Genotype based medicines, Monte-carlo simulations in an ever globalized world for financial transactions and climate and weather modelling both on atmospheric and oceanographic impact, are driving the need for massive scale computing.

HPC and Grid Infrastructure is now moving towards standardized processors like X64 based processors, and the use of standardized interconnects. With ever increasing speeds of microprocessors and improved interconnects, it is possible to achieve higher performance, with tens of thousands of processors, in an affordable manner. This opens the possibility of solving a new range of problems in many industry verticals. This presentation will discuss technology directions and the solutions that deliver, enabling the solving of business problems in life sciences, bioinformatics and financial modelling.
