The key metric for both production Big data and production HPC is common: time to value. The key technical aspect also holds a similar principle that keeps processors fed with data and avoids bottlenecks! Production HPC success is measured by time to value, where it is measured as overall job elapsed time. For this, you need to keep processors as busy as possible that can ultimately build up a balanced system. This, on the other hand, keeps system overhead to a minimum whereas provides low-latency interconnection with a just-in-time highly parallel data movement within the processors. Read more..
