Virtualized clusters and high-performance computing High-performance computing architectures, virtualized clustering and virtualization all enable data centers to improve server utilization efficiency and data center computing resource use and, potentially, reduce costs in their data centers. This section explores the latest news and research on HPC environments with virtualization, how to use virtualized Windows and Linux clustering, the benefits of HPC in terms of increased server utilization, reduced IT costs, and increased scalability as well as some of the central challenges of high-performance computing in terms of improving application performance and latency, fault tolerance concerns, and HPC management challenges, and some of the ongoing projects devoted to high-performance computing, such as the Beowolf project and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
