Intel hatches architecture to make high performance computing an enterprise staple Dell is among the first enterprise vendors to launch systems based on Intel's Omni-Path Architecture.

#Intel and its server maker partners are betting that high performance computing can become an enterprise mainstay.

The chip giant added to its #ScalableSystemFramework and rolled out a new architecture call #Omni-Path to make high performance computing ( #HPC ) clusters available for more workloads.

#Dell announced new systems using the Intel architecture and approach to HPC on Monday. #Cray, #Fujitsu, #HPE, #Lenovo, #SGI, #PenguinComputing among others are planning to launch systems revolving around Intel's Omni-Path Architecture.

Intel said volume shipments are likely in the first quarter. Dell rolled out specialized HPC systems for #genomicdata analysis, manufacturing and research.

According to Intel, the popularity of big data and analytics workloads will take HPC mainstream. As a result, HPC techniques and fabric approaches will mean enterprises carve out HPC budgets. Intel calls this development an "HPC Everywhere" era.
