AI has been a major driver in the evolution of compute infrastructure, creating huge demand for GPUs and AI accelerators. But AI workloads aren’t the only ones that require high-density, high-performance compute (HPC). Major financial institutions use HPC for simulations that model the probability of various outcomes. In the aerospace and automotive industries, computational fluid dynamics uses HPC to simulate how liquids and gases move and interact with surfaces. HPC is also used in applications ranging from weather prediction and climate modeling to genomics and bioinformatics. Before long, it’s likely that a large portion of compute will be high performance….
