Press release from Intersect360
HPC and hyperscale analyst firm Intersect360 Research has released a new report guiding its clients that the market for High Performance Computing (HPC) products and services will fall significantly short of its previous 2020 forecast, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The newly-revised forecast predicts the overall worldwide HPC market will be flat to down 12% in 2020.

Updated Forcaset Intersect360
HPC and hyperscale analyst Addison Snell from Intersect360 Research gave a presentation on August 6, 2020. The entire presentation and slides are available on Intersect 360 webpage (Thanks i360).
If you are curious how HPC may play out in the COVID-19 pandemic, watch the presentation (including questions at the end). Slides are also helpful, but Addison provides good context . For the impatient, here are the conclusions:
- Demand for high-performance computing endures. HPC is a long-term, stable growth market.
- Regardless of COVID-19, dynamics were shifting toward:
- Increase in cloud computing, or other cloud-like deployments
- Increase in government spending
- COVID-19 accelerates both of these trends
- HPC vendors should expect purchases to be delayed in 2020, followed by a boom year in 2021 as sales cycles come back in. However, not all lost revenue is recaptured.
- There is significant risk in this forecast. Two significant factors are:
- How long COVID-19 persists as an economic damper.
- The health of HPC vendors and their ability to ride out the market instability.
Scale Up Your HPC Job Interviews

Give your HPC resume a performance boost by creating a Resume Profile
If your job search was a parallel program, then your resume would be the code that outputs interviews. You wouldn’t want to scale up your job count until your code is optimized and bug free, right?
An inefficient resume can cause you a lot of wasted time, extending your job search out for several months. Sure, brute forcing your job search by sending out 100’s of resumes will typically land you a job, eventually. But it’s likely that you will burn-out before then, or get into a “I’ll take anything I can get” mindset.
So what can you do to optimize your resume to increase your interview rate?
There are several ways, but one stands out in my book as the most important, and that is adding a resume profile at the top of your resume.
