High performance computing is a field in which engineers often require knowledge of many different areas. An HPC developer must implement a solution to a problem which comes from ‘real’ science, but they also need to understand computer hardware and software.
With new and old companies releasing processors for the HPC market, there are now several options for high-performance server-based CPUs. This is being compounded by setbacks and delays at Intel opening up competition for the HPC CPU market.
