Budget supercomputers are allowing business to move from data-mining the past to predicting the future, thanks to inexpensive coprocessor cards that turn almost any server into a high-performance computer (HPC). By modeling the future, HPC simulations can predict what new products are needed, then model them with virtual prototypes thereby speeding their way to market: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog

High performance computers (HPCs) are moving from banks of independent processors to more cost effective racks of coprocessors using the Xeon Phi.Further Reading
