The increasing utilization of big data analytics is notably driving market growth. The advent of big data analytics has resulted in the significant growth of cluster supercomputers. The increasing application of big data analytics across industries has fueled the adoption of supercomputers. Big data requires computing systems that can handle data-intensive workloads. Businesses are looking to shift their focus beyond data management to find value from data that can drive rapid, informed decisions. The trend of extracting insights from big data is on the rise. This is creating the need for better computing infrastructure.
Further, supercomputers, with their large storage and high processing capabilities, are ideal for processing large volumes of data available in the market. This can be witnessed in the financial services industry, where companies such as PayPal have resorted to buying cluster supercomputers over the last two to three years. The growth of high-performance data analysis using cluster supercomputers is mainly driven by the need to achieve advanced analytics on a real-time basis.
Software issues affecting performance is the key trend in the market. The Sandia National Laboratories launched the XPRESS (eXacale Programming Environment and System Software) program to develop an exascale-capable OS. Software issues are extremely challenging and affect the speed and processing capabilities of supercomputers. Currently, OS and message-passing programs used on supercomputers are 15-20 years old. For instance, simultaneous memory access using the software available in the market can slow down a process significantly if the same data area needs to be accessed by multiple processes at the same time.
Furthermore, the program by Sandia aims to provide a system software foundation designed to maximize performance and scalability (more efficiently across thousands of nodes) in future large-scale parallel computers. The goal of the program is to counter specific issues rather than try to scale an entire OS to exascale levels. The program will focus on reducing overhead, instruction latency, and simultaneous memory access.
High ownership cost and large power consumption increasing the total cost is the major challenge impeding market growth. The ownership and maintenance of a supercomputer cost a substantial amount (in the range of millions). The overall cost includes installation, power consumption (megawatts of power), and maintenance costs. The cost of designing, assembling, and installing a supercomputer can range anywhere between USD 100 million and USD 300 million. These systems use around 6-7 megawatts of power on average, with peak consumption approaching 9.5 megawatts.
Additionally, the annual energy expense for such usage is roughly USD 6 million to USD 7 million. The energy cost of a supercomputer over its lifetime adds up to almost the total investment costs. The energy requirements of a supercomputer increase with a rise in its computational power. Moreover, several technicians have to be employed to keep the supercomputer running. This will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

The Linux segment was valued at USD 5.22 Billion in 2018. Linux is the most preferred operating system (OS) among supercomputer vendors as it supports all possible hardware architectures and platforms, from tiny embedded boards to large computing arrays. Moreover, the quality and coverage of the hardware drivers available for Linux are better compared with that of the drivers available for any other platform. Linux also offers extreme scalability, reliability, flexibility, and ease of use. Moreover, the cost of supercomputers is a major concern. Deploying Linux is cost-effective as it is completely royalty-free. Furthermore, it is relatively easier to add or remove any experimental networking device without rebooting the system. It also offers more security compared with other OS.
