High performance computing (HPC), a strategic focus for HP, is a broader concept than the term High Performance

IBM, and others heralds the increasingly commercial use of these systems that were previously used almost

cluster platforms dominate HPTC, but there is a rapid movement toward Linux industry standard servers and
clusters that is underway.
