High-Performance Computing (HPC)

Some workloads are too big for a single server. HPC brings many servers together to work as one, and Cratsol helps you specify the right cluster hardware and supplies it from the leading manufacturers, at competitive pricing.

Many servers, working as one

High-Performance Computing solves problems that are far too large for a single machine by dividing the task across many servers, or nodes, that run in parallel. Instead of one computer working through a job step by step, dozens or hundreds share the load and finish in a fraction of the time.
This is how research, engineering, and science tackle their most demanding challenges, from climate modelling and simulation to genomics and financial analysis.

Three parts that have to work together

Talk to a specialist

Compute Nodes

The servers that carry the workload, CPU, GPU, or a mix, sized and matched to your needs.

Talk to a specialist

High-Speed Interconnect

The low-latency network that links the nodes, so they share data fast enough to run as one.

Talk to a specialist

High-Performance Storage

Storage quick enough to feed the cluster, so the compute is never left waiting for data.

Where serious compute earns its place

Scientific research and simulation

Engineering and modelling

Genomics and life sciences

Financial modelling and risk analysis

Weather and climate modelling

AI and machine learning at scale

A hardware supplier that understands HPC

Supplier first

Servers, storage, and networking hardware are our core business, sourced from leading manufacturers and priced to compete.

Balanced, not just powerful

We specify compute, interconnect, and storage as one system, so nothing is left waiting on a slower part.

Advice with no agenda

We recommend what fits your workloads and budget, not the highest-margin configuration on the shelf.

The right cluster, specified and supplied

01

Understand

We look at your workloads, how they scale, and what determines your results, so the cluster is specified around the job.

02

Specify

We recommend the right balance of compute, interconnect, and storage, so no single part holds the cluster back.

03

Supply

We provide the cluster hardware from leading manufacturers, at competitive pricing, ready for your environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ UI - Radius + Full Width Mobile
What is the difference between HPC and a single powerful server?
−
A single server has limits. HPC links many servers so they run in parallel, handling problems far larger than any one machine could manage alone.
Why does the network matter so much in HPC?
+
The nodes have to share data constantly. If the connection between them is slow, they spend their time waiting instead of computing, which is why a low-latency interconnect is essential.
What kinds of work is HPC for?
+
Large-scale simulation, modelling, research, genomics, financial analysis, and AI at scale, anywhere the workload is too big for one machine.
Do you supply the whole cluster?
+
Yes. We help you specify and supply the compute, interconnect, and storage that make up the cluster, balanced around your workloads.
