Cloud computing, large data and other it new concepts bring new information resources organization, but also change the human imagination of the future technology. However, in the IT industry, the concept of cloud computing, large data and so on, it is unavoidable to "snub" high-performance computing. But in the final analysis, these kinds of it application pattern have the interlinked intrinsic logic. High-performance computing for cloud computing, large data to provide computing power support, cloud computing, large data for High-performance computing provides an innovative application model, which together for intelligent urban construction and other applications to provide information capacity support, and become the country, the core competitiveness of enterprises as part of.
Ultra-high computing capacity for cloud computing, large data support
Unlike the common computing model, High-performance Computing consists of a large number of processors and uses High-performance network interconnection for cluster computing, so its computational power is much higher than that of the average computer, and the double-precision floating-point computation of top high-performance computers, including the Dawning Nebula, has exceeded petajoules times. The peak operation reaches 3000 trillion times per second. Ultra-high computing power improves the efficiency of information analysis and flow, provides the basis for large-scale data analysis and high performance data storage, which is the necessary support for cloud computing and large data implementation.
"High performance computing has freed social and economic operations from tedious work and has provided computational power for data intelligence collection and analysis," said Simon SSC13, chief technology officer at the Dawning Asia-Pacific conference at dawn. For example, in order to security needs, urban construction, airport security needs to install a number of cameras, if the traditional way, it will take a huge amount of human and material resources. But by using the GPU-accelerated high-performance computer, only need more than 100 units to complete the 40,000-camera centralized, intelligent management. ”
promoting the upgrading of information industry chain with the application of joint effort
The significance of high performance computing lies not only in its high performance hardware and ultra-high computing ability, but also in the innovation and landing of high-performance applications, which bring more impetus to the development of information technology. At present, high performance computing applications have played an important role in basic discipline research, high-performance storage and Intelligent city construction, and have become the core supporting forces in the fields of national security and defense construction, economic construction, major engineering and basic scientific research. High-quality High-performance computing applications can better display high performance computing capacity, widen the channel of information resources, and promote the upgrading of industry to high value-added and economic restructuring.
In this process, the high Performance computing application and cloud computing, large data application mode is not the contradiction between the long, but the same as the application of highly efficient information system. On the one hand, cloud computing, large data itself means very large amount of data processing, only efficient and high-performance applications can effectively play the advantage of their business model; On the other hand, cloud computing, large data is the inevitable feature of High-performance computing applications in the development process: as the high Performance computing application market continues to deepen, and to other industries, The continuous expansion of the field of data growth has reached unprecedented speed, more work will be from the traditional local computing cluster to the network based cluster computing development, which objectively depends on the cloud computing, large data development results. Because these kinds of it models in the application of the inherent logic of the similarities, we can find that the dawn and other high-performance computing enterprises can inherit the advantages of High-performance computing, and the introduction of better, more to meet user needs of cloud computing and large data products and solutions.
"Relying on the deep accumulation of high-performance computing, the dawn has become an important provider of cloud computing, large data products and solutions in China," said Shaozong, vice president of Shuguang. Recently, the Dawn released a ' platform one, wisdom sinks application ' industry Big Data strategy, this strategy comprehensively sets dawn in the high performance computation, the high performance storage and so on resources superiority, for the industry enterprise constructs the competitive big data whole solution and the service, achieves the platform ability and the application flexible expansion and the growth, Provide true unified data analysis capabilities. ”
Therefore, with the development of new models such as cloud computing and large data, high performance computing will not only decline but also grow stronger. For enterprises, how to maximize their value through business intelligence and advanced analysis application, and how the enterprise users will choose the complex and diverse high-performance computing services to meet their own business development needs, will become the new needs of enterprises in the information construction.
