Industries
and Markets
High
Performance Computing (HPC) pushes the limits of computing performance
and has now moved well beyond its origins in large government
and university research sites. Today, HPC is indispensable for
large commercial firms and it is quickly moving into small and
medium-sized enterprises across a broad range of vertical markets.
Appro delivers power-efficient and performance-optimized scalable
supercomputing solutions based on CPU and GPU’s providing
many-/multi-core systems within large clusters that enable organizations
to gain competitive advantage by using innovative products and
services while driving cost efficiencies and minimizing risks.
Our products and solutions combine hardware, software, services
and partnerships to enable greater supercomputing performance
in various industries to include government and education to
solve the most demanding computational problems.

The geometric complexity
and advanced physics involved in the modern
automobile market present some of the most challenging
CAE problems faced by engineers today. Market
pressures to create innovative products in less
time and regulatory demands to meet higher fuel
efficiency emphasize the need to carry out more
advanced simulations, faster than ever before.
The competition forces more design cycles with
a trimmed operating team making the Appro open,
scalable clusters and supercomputers a logical
choice. |

The Aerospace Industry
produces some of the most sophisticated, highly-engineered
systems in the world today while having the
need to meet exacting standards for performance
and safety. However, they must also be innovative
and affordable in order to succeed. Today, scientists
who work in the defense and aerospace industries
use clusters and supercomputers for their compute
intensive applications such as computer-aided
engineering (CAE) software to accurately simulate
aerodynamics, engine performance and other mission
critical behavior as well as computational fluid
dynamics (CFD). |

Clusters are increasingly
being viewed as the new architecture of the
datacenter. Built on industry standard technologies,
today’s blade or 1U x86-based clusters
are powering complex data analysis and real-world
simulations while increasing user productivity
and reducing operational costs. Appro clusters
and supercomputing solutions help small to large
companies in the financial industry to successfully
compute complex data analysis and financial
simulations that help predict performance and
extend their competitive reach both to retain
and expand their customer base. |

Professors,
researchers, and graduate students were among
the first to use cluster computing. Universities
take an active role in promoting efforts to
improve both advanced education and academic
research fields to include Information Mathematics
and Modeling, Intelligent Software, Software
System, Computer Architecture, Media Engineering
and science research projects. Appro clusters
and supercomputers deliver the performance and
fast results that the University compute science
centers need to support a growing portfolio
for computational science and engineering research
education. |

Government and research
agencies face various challenges from coping
with rapidly changing military/security situations
to enabling scientists to maximize their productivity
and generate breakthrough science results. Government
agencies have been compelled to place an even
stronger emphasis in improving and developing
new technologies to remain competitive in this
fast moving world. Many government lab research
groups are working closely with Appro to deliver
scalable clusters and supercomputers based on
Appro’s key success stories with Lawrence
Livermore National Labs and the recent Tri-Labs
Capacity Cluster project implemented for three
national laboratories: Lawrence Livermore, Sandia
and Los Alamos. |
