Most Common HPC Use Cases

High-performance computing (HPC) has a wide range of use cases and applications in almost all industries. Reduced costs, increased speed, flexible deployment models, improved storage, and reduced risks are a few benefits of HPC environments. In today’s article, we will discuss some of the most common HPC use cases. 

Data Protection

Companies spend a lot of money to streamline their data protection operations. Protecting valuable data has become an integral part of a company’s overall strategy. If someone steals proprietary information from a company, competitors can misuse the data and damage the company’s reputation. 

Therefore, it is crucial to invest in high-performance computing to process your company’s data and perform complex calculations quickly. For example, supercomputers are a well-known HPC solution for business, contains thousands of nodes that work to complete multiple tasks, known as parallel processing. So, HPC can protect your company’s data. 

Scientific Research

High-performance computing plays a crucial role in streamlining scientific research. Supercomputers are the fastest computers that perform multiple cycles on hundreds of thousands of cores, allowing scientists to achieve results quickly. 

Not only does HPC help in understanding the origins of the universe and exploring new energy resources, but it also stores big data. For instance, health and medical scientists can perform a wide range of simulations to make personalized medicine or drugs. 

Healthcare

Using high-performance computing methods can enhance healthcare facilities. For instance, medicine and computing are intertwined as the double helix structure of DNA. Healthcare institutions and research centers can use HPC environments to store confidential patient information, monitor vital signs, and review drug efficacy. 

Advancements in HPC, including cloud-based applications, have allowed health professionals to digitize complex processes. For instance, Bioinformaticians use HPC environments to sequence DNA, genome, and test drugs. That way, they can create better and personalized medicines to streamline the healthcare sector. 

Engineering

Engineers make substantial efforts to improve machines’ real-world performance. However, it is challenging for engineering companies to test prototypes because it costs a lot of money. 

The good news is that HPC allows for testing new designs through massive computer simulations. For example, a customized HPC application can simulate a real-world environment that focuses on different variables, such as heat, wind, gravity, etc. 

So, engineers can use HPC systems to simulate real-world testing and improve machines’ performance. The airline industry, vehicle manufacturing industry, and other industries that involve engineering work use HPC systems to make airplane parts, make racing bike frames, and other things, respectively. 

Financial Services

Financial institutions focus on creating ultra-low latency programmed trading modules to streamline their financial operations. HPC allows for better decision-making through historical data analysis. Bear in mind that high-frequency trading requires fast data access and analysis from a wide range of databases. 

HPC systems process the data through high-level and customized algorithms, allowing companies to streamline their financial services. Likewise, HPC has a wide range of applications in the stock exchange, allowing traders to streamline stock exchange data centers’ operations. The purpose is to reduce latencies, even by single microseconds.
