The high Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operating Expenditure (OPEX) involved in the HPC market is one of the primary issues limiting its growth. The expense of building up and running an HPC is substantial. The hardware and software expenditures, as well as the CAPEX, are significant. Energy expenditures, human resources, and maintenance and repair costs are also part of the HPC OPEX. Start-ups and SMEs are unable to use HPC due to the hefty initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs.
