The market for HPC will continue to expand this year according to IDC’s “Top 10 HPC Market Predictions for 2010” but the addition of cloud computing presents a number of challenges in terms of setting up parallel programing, changes in energy consumption, and general licensing issues.

While there have been challenges present in existing structures like TeraGrid, adding cloud into the mix can create potential problems.
