Frequently Asked Questions
What is High-Performance Computing?
High-Performance Computing (HPC) uses powerful computing resources to process large datasets and complex calculations at significantly greater speed and scale than conventional computing environments. HPC supports workloads including AI, data science, modelling and simulation, advanced analytics and scientific research. HPC uses dedicated tools for optimisation of data throughputs including parallel file systems. It is also called Higher End Computing or Advanced Research Computing when used for science or research purposes.
What is HPC used for?
HPC is used for compute- and data-intensive workloads that require high levels of processing power, data throughput, performance and scalability. Common applications include artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, advanced research, modelling and simulation, and large-scale analytics.
Can HPC be used for AI and machine learning?
Yes. HPC can provide the compute, storage and networking performance required for demanding AI and machine-learning workloads. The right architecture depends on factors such as model complexity, dataset size, performance requirements and the need for CPU or GPU acceleration. MTI also provides cyber security services specifically designed to help protect AI workloads.
How should HPC be deployed?
Best practice is to have the computing and data storage within the same location. Usually, HPC is delivered on-premise but can be via a hybrid environment, although this depends on your workloads, data, security requirements, scalability needs, and budget. MTI supports flexible HPC deployment options, including on-premises, hybrid and hosted/colocation environments, allowing infrastructure to be aligned with organisational and research requirements.
How do I know what HPC infrastructure my organisation needs?
HPC infrastructure should be designed around your workloads and performance requirements rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Through our partnership with Cambridge Research Computing, MTI can assess infrastructure, workloads and data to identify constraints and optimisation opportunities before designing an appropriate HPC architecture.
How do you secure a HPC environment?
All HPC systems rely upon data, and vast amounts of data may be sourced, so it is essential to protect your data and intellectual property.
HPC security services should protect infrastructure, workloads and data across the entire environment including securing edge computing. MTI’s capabilities include network segmentation and security architecture, threat detection, vulnerability management, incident response, backup and recovery, and specialist cyber security services for AI workloads.
Does MTI provide ongoing HPC support and optimisation?
Yes. MTI provides 24 x 7 managed services and support, performance and cost optimisation, and lifecycle and infrastructure management. These services are designed to maintain availability, efficiency, reliability and long-term scalability after the initial HPC deployment.
Why choose MTI for High-Performance Computing?
MTI understands that HPC is often a significant investment. We have the expertise, the compliant methods of purchasing, and we understand the multiple phases of a project and can build plans with you to integrate within your own requirements, infrastructure and budgeting model. We provide a low-risk model for adopting or extending your HPC service using our depth of expertise, supply chain and commercial understanding to deliver projects sooner and with clarity of service delivery.
MTI combines Dell Technologies’ enterprise-scale HPC infrastructure, Cambridge Research Computing’s specialist research HPC design expertise, and MTI’s commercial, delivery, security and managed services capabilities. Together, this provides an end-to-end approach spanning HPC design, procurement, deployment, protection and ongoing optimisation.
