The Need for Alternative Supercomputing Resources
The Need for Alternative Supercomputing Resources
1. Vast numbers of under utilised workstations available to use.
2. Huge numbers of unused processor cycles and resources that
could be put to good use in a wide variety of applications areas.
3. Reluctance to buy Supercomputer due to their cost and short life
span.
4. Distributed compute resources “fit” better into todays funding
model.
