Introduction to HPC Cluster

HPC Cluster is a collection of hundreds or thousands of servers that are networked together, each server is known as a node. Each node in a cluster works in parallel with each other, boosting processing speed to deliver high-performance computing. HPC is appropriate for most small and medium-sized businesses since these nodes are tightly, this is the reason why it is called a cluster. All cluster nodes have the same components as a laptop or desktop such as the CPU, cores, memory, and storage space. The difference between a personal computers and a cluster node is in quantity, quality, and power of the components. User login to the cluster head node is done by using the ssh program.

Use Cases

HPC is deployed on-premises, at the edge, or in the cloud. HPC solutions are used for a variety of purposes across multiple industries. HPC is used to help scientists find sources of renewable energy, understand the evolution of our universe. Predict and track the storms, and create new materials.
