Computing (HPC) <\/a>server market finished up 2015 by 12 percent, reaching $11.4 billion, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hpcwire.com\/2015\/11\/18\/hpc-roi-invest-a-dollar-to-make-500-plus-reports-idc\/\" target=\"_blank\">a report from IDC sponsored by the DOE<\/a>. \u00a0When HPC storage, middleware, applications, and services are also considered, the total market size\u00a0for 2015 comes out to $21 billion.<\/p>\n<p>One stunning number from the report is that IDC estimates that for every dollar spent on HPC technology the ROI is $514.70!<\/p>\n<p>Other key facts from the IDC report include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Both strategic and economic reasons cause vendors to push for ever-faster computers. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/itlaw.wikia.com\/wiki\/Petaflop\" target=\"_blank\">100 PetaFlop systems <\/a>will become more common in 2016<\/li>\n<li>HPC is increasingly being done in the cloud<\/li>\n<li>A major challenge of HPC is software. \u00a0Few software libraries and applications are written to run in HPC environments<\/li>\n<li>The Chinese are expected to play a bigger role in the HPC market, likely extending into Europe, particularly by Lenovo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The report identified the following verticals for practical applications within HPC:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fraud and anomaly detection<\/li>\n<li>Marketing<\/li>\n<li>Business intelligence<\/li>\n<li>Large IT Infrastructures, like what is required Internet-of-Things<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div
