The potential benefits for HPC are obvious. Rather than relying solely on your own on-premises computing resources, using the cloud gives you access to more compute power when you need it. This allows tilting HPC costs away from capital expense and toward operating expense, something that’s attractive to many organizations. =0A=0ACloud computing will have a big impact on the HPC world, but on-premises HPC computing isn’t going away. Instead, providing a way to combine the two approaches makes sense. This is what Microsoft has done with Windows HPC Server and Windows Azure, supporting all three possible combinations: applications that run entirely on-premises, applications that run entirely in the cloud, and applications that are spread across both. =0A=0ACome hear Ryan Waite, General Manager, share the latest news in HPC in the cloud and the Microsoft roadmap for the future.
