As the market share leader in high-performance computing (HPC) servers, Hewlett Packard Enterprise saw the convergence of classic modeling and simulation with artificial intelligence (AI) methods such as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) coming and took decisive action. Through the acquisition of Cray, HPE has assembled additional intellectual property on the HPC software layer, the interconnect layer, and the storage layer for the new HPC era. This is characterized by modeling and simulation, along with AI running on the same supercomputer or HPC cluster in mission- or business-critical workflows. We call this the exascale era.
