In recent years, traditional #supercomputing competitors, like #SGI (now part of #HPE), Cray, and #IBM, have seen mainstream server HPC brands, like #DellEMC, HPE, and #Lenovo, gain end-user attention. For the past few years the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC), a leading conference for high-performance computing ( #HPC ) held in Frankfurt, Germany last week, has held a vendor showdown: an audience-judged competition among ISC’s Platinum, Gold and Silver sponsors. Audience judging matters at ISC, because its audience is so highly qualified. [You can read the details for 2016’s event here. I assume this year was similar, but ISC had not yet posted the 2017 split before this was published.] ISC’s vendor showdown is a timed event; each vendor has a few minutes to present their strategy, product or research developments using only three slides, and must then answer questions from a panel of moderators. This year, the 22 participating companies were split evenly into two tracks. Dell EMC participated in track 2 (listed here in the order they presented):
Dell EMC’s Ed Turkel gave the winning presentation for track 2. Dell EMC has been experimenting and innovating around the company’s mission to “democratize HPC” (remember that the PC mission belongs to Dell now, a separate corporate entity from Dell EMC). Democratizing HPC means making HPC accessible to small and medium businesses to accelerate science, engineering, and analytics applications. It is doing this by working with partners to advance the technology base and by optimizing HPC solutions, via their Dell EMC HPC Innovation lab
