Data Analytics Requires New Libraries

A convergence in the fields of High Performance Computing (HPC) and Big Data has led to new opportunities for software developers to create and deliver products that can help to analyze very large amounts of data. The HPC software ecosystem over the years have created and maintained sets of numerical libraries, communication API's (MPI) and applications to make running HPC type applications faster and simpler to design. Low level libraries have been developed so that developers can concentrate on higher level algorithms. Products such as the Intel Math Kernel Library (Intel MKL) have been highly tuned to take advantage of multiple cores and newer instructions sets.
