Alternative Supercomputing Resources
Alternative Supercomputing Resources
- Vast numbers of under utilised workstations resources available - could be put to good use in a wide variety of applications areas.
- Low utilisation rates of high-performance workstations (LLNL/Los Alamos 7- 10%), as their performance grows utilisation will become worse.
- Reluctance to buy Supercomputers due to their cost and short life span.
- Distributed compute resources seem to fit into the current funding model.
