HPC systems are characterized by their high-speed processing power, high-performance networks, and large-memory capacity, generating the capability to perform massive amounts of parallel processing. When a standard desktop with a 3 GHz processor can perform around 3 billion calculations per second, an average HPC system can perform quadrillions of calculations per second. This means HPC systems perform extreme amounts of calculations in seconds, whereas a regular processor would take weeks or even months to complete the same task, thanks to their technology.
While not every system requires an extreme processing speed, HPC is essential for advanced, time-consuming use cases that rely on:
HPC is an essential capability to enterprises across a broad spectrum of industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, energy, life sciences, finance, and more. HPC gives enterprises the ability to discover scientific and business insights, develop new products, and open new avenues for progress by enabling multi-physics simulations, digital twin models, big data analytics, machine learning, and other complex engineering and scientific workloads, but even the largest enterprises can struggle to deploy, manage, and scale the robust HPC resources they need for success in the modern world.

The term AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is everywhere nowadays and has quietly woven itself into the fabric of our daily lives. It powers the recommendations we see on streaming platforms, the navigation apps that guide us through traffic, and even the virtual assistants that answer our questions in seconds. From optimizing energy use in smart homes to predicting market shifts in finance, AI has become the invisible engine driving convenience, efficiency, and insight across industries.
In manufacturing, AI-driven robots collaborate with humans to streamline production. In agriculture, machine learning models monitor crops, forecast yields, and conserve resources. Retailers use predictive analytics to anticipate consumer needs before customers even express them. The reach of AI is no longer confined to futuristic labs, it’s in our phones, vehicles, and cities, constantly learning and adapting to serve us better.
OSS PCIe-based products deliver critical advantages for modern military sensor systems by enabling real-time data acquisition, processing, and transmission in rugged, mission-critical environments. These benefits stem from their ability to support high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnects, modular scalability, and environmental resilience, all of which are essential for today’s advanced military platforms.
Companies today are being asked to do more with data than ever before. Bigger AI models, faster insights, and workloads that don’t stay in one place, it’s a lot to keep up with. Traditional infrastructure just isn’t built for this kind of speed and flexibility.
The answer isn’t about throwing more hardware at the problem. It’s about building smarter, more agile infrastructure that adapts as demands change. And that’s where scale-out and increasingly, a blend of scale-out and scale-up come into play.
