Singapore, July 18 -- NOVATTE, leading Singaporean manufacturer of customized High Performance Computing systems, gathered over 140 of the best minds in the industry for its “High Performance Computing Conference: CAD/CAE/CFD Workshop South East Asia” hosted at the Biopolis, Singapore, on July 16th, 2012. The focus of the conference was not only to demonstrate to researchers, software developers and application users from South East Asia how High Performance Computing affects productivity and accelerates research, but also to link technology vendors, HPC manufacturers and end users together to facilitate networking and to open borders for cross-country research cooperation.
To unleash the latest technologies and tendencies in HPC, NOVATTE brought top industry speakers from all over APAC including Prof. James Lin – Vice Director of HPC Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Paul Haines – APAC Enterprise Solution Sales Director of Intel, Rex Tanakit - Worldwide Systems Engineering Director of Panasas, Dr. Simon See - Chief Solution Architect of NVIDIA and Visiting Technical Advisor of Institute of High Performance Computing, Dr. Rick Goh - Scientist and Department Director of Singapore Institute of High Performance Computing and others.
Nine technological vendors and ISVs provided attendees with the opportunity to experience and test in real time NOVATTE HPC clusters and workstations specifically optimized for Dassault Systèmes, CST, ANSYS, MathWorks, AUTODESK, SOLIDWORKS software and open source models. The conference helped to strengthen end user’s confidence in HPC systems becoming an easy-to-use “appliances” and motivated to start actively using latest technologies in everyday research and operations.
NOVATTE has received many positive feedbacks from participants and technological vendors, and will be working to extend its HPC conference to other APAC countries.

This week, NASA announced it would soon be launching a new HPC and data facility that will give Earth scientists access to four decades of satellite imagery and other datasets. Known as the NASA Earth Exchange (NEX), the facility is being promoted as a “virtual laboratory” for researchers interested in applying supercomputing resources to studying areas like climate change, soil and vegetation patterns, and other environmental topics.

With the rollout of high performance, lossless Ethernet products over the last few years, there were more than a few analysts predicting the slow retreat of InfiniBand. But thanks to a peculiar confluence of technology roadmaps, a payoff in some investments made by Mellanox, and a pent-up demand for server and storage deployment now being alleviated by Intel's Romley platform, InfiniBand is having a big year.

At the cutting edge of HPC, bigger has always been seen as better and user demand has been the justification. However, as we now grapple with trans-petaflop machines and strive for exaflop ones, is evidence emerging that contradicts these notions? Might computers be getting too big to effectively serve up those FLOPS?
