Résumé

Depuis la révolution Beowulf , le calcul haute performance (High Performance Computing, HPC) a été envahi non seulement par des clusters comportant du matériel courant mais aussi par le logiciel libre. Du système d’exploitation aux applications métier, les supercalculateurs (même les plus puissants au monde) sont un nid à logiciels libres.

Dans cette présentation, je vais expliquer ce que c’est le HPC et comment le Logiciel Libre est arrivé à jouer un rôle prépondérant. Un survol des logiciels utilisés sur les machines les plus puissantes au monde sera donné.
