Interconnect is an integral part of any scale-out solutions. The question often asked is something like "which interconnect should I use for my next scale-out project?" Well, a simple answer is "it depends". For many applications in the high performance computing (HPC) area, their...

Today HP announced the new ExSO portfolio . The products are designed for Extreme Scale Out (duh) but are quite applicable for HPC and clusters. After all, the typical HPC user wants highest performance per dollar, and per watt. Yes, these systems are ideal for big Web 2.0 and cloud data centers, but...

SLURM , the "Highly Scalable Resource Manager" from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has come a long way. When we started using it for some of the products in our Unified Cluster Portfolio , SLURM had only a simple FIFO scheduler, no job accounting, and the ability to support perhaps...

Welcome to our online HPC team blog. We are launching HPC Cluster Edge to expand the reach of our discussions with customers and partners, building on activities such as our user group ( HP-CAST ) and the HP Collaboration and Competency Network . A main topic will be clusters, but also HPC in general...

One of the complexities in benchmarking applications is defining the server configuration adequately. The purpose of a benchmark is to provide guidance - to demonstrate how to obtain a given performance from a specific application workload. This guidance is not useful if the performance cannot be reproduced...

This week, I am attending the annual SC08 conference. For 2 decades, the tradition in HPC is to announce and demonstrate new products at the SC conference, and there is a lot to absorb. For me, the event started with a 2-day HP user conference, attracting some of HP’s largest HPC customers. It was a...

Given that it is important to measure power usage and correlate it to application performance, how do you measure the power? We use 2 different methods - one for rack-mounted servers and another for blade servers. The rack-mounted servers do not provide power meters, so we bought a power meter. We plug...
