Intersect360 Research Releases First HALO-Based Report
SUNNYVALE, CA—October 29, 2024— Intersect360 Research, a leading market intelligence firm, has released a new report titled Issues Facing the HPC-AI Industry: Insights from the Advisory Committees of the HPC-AI Leadership Organization (HALO).
This report gives a detailed analysis of the current landscape and the future directions of HPC and AI technologies, as well as the organizations that rely on these tools. Including independent research as well as extensive interviews with members of HALO’s Advisory Committee, the study has keyed in on vital challenges and opportunities that are facing the HPC-AI sector.
Important findings from the report include:
- A lack of people trained and ready to handle new HPC-AI environments, and why this disparity remains.
- The challenges inherent in designing optimal HPC-AI architectures, including the choice between homogenous and heterogeneous systems.
- The heavy focus that must be levied on the accuracy and reproducibility of results, especially in fields like research, medicine, and engineering.
- Ongoing concerns about portability and the ease of use in HPC-AI systems.
- Issues in the processor market concerning suitability, chip supply, and design for various HPC-AI applications.
“This report is the culmination of many discussions about and intensive research into the current state of the HPC-AI industry,” said Addison Snell, CEO of Intersect360 Research. “It is meant to serve as a valuable resource for industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers that are shaping the future of HPC and AI technologies.”
The full report is available to Intersect360 Research clients and members of HALO via the Intersect360 Researc website. Leaders and decision-makers in the end user HPC-AI community who are interested in this work can apply to join HALO at no cost at https://hpcaileadership.org to access the report.
