IDC Keynote - HPC Market Trends and Research
 
  Earl Joseph
  Program Vice President, High Performance Computing, IDC
   
  The presentation will start with an overview of the worldwide HPC (High Performance Computing) technical server market. Then it will cover the fast growing cluster portion of the HPC Market, a look at the A/P Region and the five year market forecasts will be shown.Some interesting end-user HPC examples will be covered
     
 
   
  10.15 am Presentation by Cisco
     
 
     
  10.45 am Intel Technology in the HPC Market
   
    William Wu
   

Regional Group Marketing Manager, Server Platforms Group, Asia Pacific, Intel Technology

     
   

75% of the world’s 500 fastest computers (375) are built with Intel processors.  Intel’s market segment share of the broader HPC market is even larger.  The heart of any HPC system is the processor but there are many other technologies that go into creating clusters that are affordable and easy to use.  This talk will describe the Intel processor roadmap but will also describe these other technologies such as Intel compilers and libraries, Intel Cluster Ready, Intel Solid State Disks, and Intel LAN adapters.  It is the combination of all of these technologies that makes Intel the natural choice for delivering HPC systems to the market.

  11.55 am Accelerating High Productivity Computing
   
    Dennis Ang
    General Manager for HPC, Hewlett Packard
     
    In recent years High Performance Computing in Asia Pacific Region has experienced very fast growth and adoption as engineering and product innovation increase competitive advantage across industries. With the advent of industry-standard cluster computing technology led by HP going mainstream the creative use of HPC has helped companies to increase their productivity. We look at some of trends and challenges ahead for HPC and provide examples of its use in key industries.
     
 
     
  12.25 pm High Productivity Computing: Taking HPC Mainstream
   
    Deepak Setty
    Regional Manager, Asia Pacific Operations Microsoft
     
    Join Deepak Setty as he discusses the past, present and future of HPC and Microsoft's Vision to make supercomputing mainstream for end users, IT professionals and developers. He will talk about the Microsoft platform that supports the vision and the growing ecosystem of partners.
 
     
  12.55 pm Bringing Super Computing Power Beyond the Internet
     
    Thillai Raj
    Vice President, Software Development & Central Engineering, MIMOS Berhad
     
    KnowledgeGRID Malaysia (KGM) was launched in the Aug of 2007 as Malaysia's National GRID computing platform. The operations of this program is managed by MIMOS under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Information. The grid program was 1st tailored to serve the research community in Malaysia to adopt the HPC culture for jumpstarting their innovative potential. It also serves as a collaborative platform to pull in data from various industry and research verticals to empower and improve on the agro industry. Furthering the cause on bridging the digital divide, KGM is also planned as a component to serve the greater public by providing different front end applications to the masses.

Driving Innovation Through Simulation

           
           
   

 

  Pavan Kumar  
        Managing Director-South Asia  
        Altair Engineering  
           
        Simulation along with HPC is a key driver of design and is being leveraged as a key competitive advantage. As leading developers of computer-aided engineering technology, we have focused on modeling and simulating real – world phenomena over the last 20 years. Recent dramatic increases in computer power, as well as the development of more efficient solver algorithms, have enabled us to model systems with increasing levels of accuracy and actually drive a more robust design process, enabling customers to evaluate more design iterations in the shorter time and introduce high-quality products to market. Altair’s vision is to accelerate innovation by unleashing human as well as "machine" creativity. Prototyping and simulation are becoming strategic differentiators in helping companies encourage "profitable improvisation". We also see the growing acceptance of Software as a Service (SaaS) in the PLM market.
