The current uptake in high performance computing means mostly good things, but it also comes with a few built-in challenges. The paradox of this particular progress is this: when you scale hardware, you oftentimes scale power consumption, right along with it. That’s where Intel’s Shesha Krishnapura has some good news ...

In this podcast, we hear about a new development in the high performance computing market from Raj Das of SGI and Greg Schulz, analyst with The StorageIO Group, weighs in on the “green gap” in the data center.
