Intel offers a top-to-bottom framework to enable HPC solutions for scientific research and industry applications ranging from petroleum and aerospace to finance and bioinformatics. Intel provides leading technologies in areas such as processors, boards, systems, and software building blocks that provide the ingredients of computers, servers, storage, and networking and communications products.

High Performance Computing (HPC) can yield new insights and  opportunities for business, research, and government, but the high cost of supercomputers and the complexity of high performance  clusters have been a barrier to many organizations. Now, the power and simplicity of Intel Xeon processors and Windows HPC are putting these new insights within reach.

Benefits

  • Intel Xeon processors and Windows HPC offer outstanding performance and reliability while accelerating time-to-insight, with an HPC platform that is simple to deploy, operate, and integrate with existing infrastructure  and tools.

  • Windows HPC on Intel processor-based servers provides a superior out-of-the-box deployment experience, an integrated software stack to help simplify setup, and support from leading HPC applications  in a wide range of industries.

  • Developers can leverage existing Windows skills plus Intel software tools with Windows HPC support, and system designers and managers to help reduce complexity by using the world’s most widely  deployed server platforms.

In the Spotlight

“The launch of Microsoft’s Windows HPC Server 2008 compliments Intel’s vision to accelerate adoption of high performance computing through simplifying deployment, maintenance and expansion of cluster infrastructures,” said Richard Dracott, Intel’s General Manager of High Performance Computing, “Clusters are essential when customers in the manufacturing, financial services and energy markets are looking to achieve more powerful performance for their workload and business expansion. Through our collaboration with Microsoft and other software vendors, we are able to deliver solutions that help reduce the complexities our customers face when transitioning from a workstation to a cluster solution.”
