Clusters That Produce: 25 Open HPC Applications

,----[ Quote ]
| Everyone knows applications drive the HPC boat. It is one thing to run 
| benchmarks and burn-in programs, but when it is time for production work, 
| applications take over. Fortunately, there are many applications that can 
| take advantage of clusters. These applications can be divided into three 
| oversimplified categories.    
| 
|     * Sequential Applications - These applications run on a single core. 
|     While they may not be parallel (use multiple cores) the end user may run 
|     many copies of the same program with different input parameters. This 
|     type of computing is often called parametric processing. These types of 
|     programs can be written in any type of computer language.    
|     * Threaded Applications - These applications use multiple cores, but only 
|     on one SMP node. Most of these programs are written using C/C++ or 
|     Fortran and use pthreads or OpenMP - As core counts increase many HPC 
|     users are taking advantage of this approach.

Cost is just a part of the value equation

| There is a two-horse race in the market, wherein one segment is dominated by
| the Windows platform while the other caters to the Linux platform in terms of
| market share, unit shipment, revenue, etc. If you look at Linux, Red Hat has
| pretty much emerged as the biggest player in this space and, depending upon
| which geography you are in, the numbers are as high as 95%.
