This knowledge helps to determine how you can efficiently render the 3D models of the facilities that the company designs, and how you store all of the related statistical data. What is HPC? There are many different industries that require very powerful computing resources for specialized tasks. For example: In genetic sciences, gene sequencing. In oil and gas exploration, reservoir simulations. In finance, market modeling. Azure Batch Azure Batch is a service for working with large-scale parallel and computationally intensive tasks on Azure. Unlike the other options you'll see in this module, Batch is a managed service.
