HPC is the bedrock upon which scientific, industrial, and societal progress is built. Organizations require lightning-fast, highly reliable IT infrastructure to process, store, and analyse massive amounts of data. The ability to process data in real time is critical for many applications, including streaming a live sporting event, tracking a developing storm, testing new products, and analysing stock trends. This study focuses on the relevance, and applications of programming languages for data-intensive Higher Performance Computing (HPC) to helps complete task faster and the applications they are used in. The research will serve as a basis for future research and development in programming languages for data-intensive HPC applications.
