Big Benefits, and It's Easier than You Think – Migrating RISC-Based Systems to Industry Standards
The benefits of running industry standard servers have been well publicized. Typically providing more performance, better performance per watt, and lower capital and operating costs than proprietary systems – there’s a lot to like about these servers. Plus you have access to the latest technology, which is updated more frequently than proprietary systems, as well as access to more operating environments, applications, and IT staff. But change can be difficult and risky – as supported by the old adage – “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Uncovering the HPC Bottleneck: High Performance Storage and the Lustre(TM) File System
Although most of the focus of high performance computing (HPC) has traditionally centered on CPU performance, as computing requirements have grown, HPC clusters are demanding increasingly higher rates of aggregate data throughput. Today’s clusters feature larger numbers of nodes with increased compute speeds. The higher clock rates and operations per clock cycle create an increased demand for local data on each node. In addition, InfiniBand and other high-speed, low-latency interconnects increase the data throughput available to each node.
