Research by IDC market has revealed that an increasing number of high performance computing (HPC)sites have moved to employ big data within analytics, with more than two thirds now employing macro analysis.

In 2013, 67 percent of HPC sites worldwide said that they carried out bid data analytics, with an average of 30 percent of computing processing power being devoted to the analysis of big data.

The rise of big data usage within HPC sites is related to use in fraud detection programs, medicine and genomics, as well as increasing use in commercial analytics.

The report also looked to the future of the market: “Data-driven businesses with a constant thirst for storing and analysing large quantities of data will force suppliers to develop big data–friendly solutions — solutions that are designed to minimize the movement of data and at the same time provide the economies of scale needed to store this data”.
