Context
In a bid to meet the surging demand for high-performance computing (HPC) capacity while reducing energy consumption, organisations are turning to the cloud and leveraging powerful GPU s for accelerated computing. This convergence of cloud, HPC, and AI/ML technologies is transforming the landscape of computational workloads across industries. According to leading research firm Hyperion Research , the HPC market is projected to reach $50 billion by 2026, reflecting a growing need for advanced computing capabilities. However, the adoption of more powerful GPUs in AI and ML workloads has raised concerns about increasing energy demands and limited power capacity in data centers.
