This document discusses the rise of high performance computing and big data, and how these technologies are enabling new insights and opportunities. It outlines how computation that once took days can now take seconds, and how big data is providing new levels of insight. It also discusses how Intel technologies like Xeon Phi coprocessors, solid-state drives, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet are providing the infrastructure needed to efficiently capture, store, process, and analyze massive amounts of data.

Intel® Xeon PhiTM
coprocessor is designed
for highly parallel applications, and it’s ideal
for processing big data in scientific and
engineering environments:
• Dynamic construction of data streams
• Parallel processing of complex models
• Programmability on x86 platform
• Provides maximum flexibility when used
with Intel® Xeon® processor-based
systems and clusters

6. Big data needs big storage
Intel® Solid-State Drive
storage is efficient and
cost-effective enough
to capture and store
terabytes, if not
petabytes, of data.
• Higher performance, lower
latency than hard disk drives
• Moving quickly down the cost
curve
• Extended endurance and
reliability

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific
computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist
you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.

"IT managers are facing the
challenge of high performance of
big data...not just storing it, but
accessing it in very fast ways."
