HPC+AI
High-Performance Computing + AI

Azure high-performance computing is a complete set of computing, networking, and storage services integrated with workload orchestration resources to support the widest range of HPC applications.

Unlock Your Innovation

Azure offers HPC engineers, data scientists and researchers with both competitive price/performance against on premises and ease of use through a simple, consolidated interface. When combined with Microsoft’s world-leading AI service APIs, Azure HPC empowers you to produce more intelligent outcomes faster than you ever thought possible.

Rising to the Challenge
Duke University Ventilator Splitting Project

Ventilators have become a scarce resource as the COVID-19 pandemic spreads around the world. Professor Randles and her team at Duke University rushed to find a safe and easy way to effectively split a single ventilator between two patients. They partnered with Microsoft AI for Health to run over 800,000 computer hours in just 36 hours to build a life-saving solution.
