Ubuntu ☛ Canonical’s recipe for High Performance Computing
At the hardware stratum, the power of HPC will usually come from parallelised execution of discrete chunks of data on relatively inexpensive commodity machines – relative to what the cost would be if there was a single system that could offer the same kind of performance. The use of GPU modules can make data crunching significantly faster compared to conventional CPUs, which is why HPC setups will often include graphics cards for processing.
The parallel execution needs to be fast – and well orchestrated – to avoid starvation at any one point in the setup. To that end, HPC setups will also include fast network and fast storage, to minimise (or eliminate) the gap in the data transfer and processing speed provided by conventionally fast elements (CPU/GPU, memory) and slow elements (I/O bus).
