The new Top500 list was released recently, and HP (and BladeSystems) again tops the list as the preferred technology choice by this extremely knowledgeable and demanding community of users! What's the Top500? It's a listing of the world's most powerful supercomputing systems, based on the...
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...
So it's not brain surgery, but it is rocket science! See article in Supercomputing Online. http://supercomputingonline.com/index.php/2009050816472/latest/orbital-sciences-corporation-uses-hp-supercomputer-to-design-the-next-generation-of-spacecraft.html
In March, I attended the HPCC Conference in Newport. I’ve been a few times, and it attracts an interesting cross-section of HPC users, mostly from labs and government. A speaker noted that private industry has lagged in its adoption of high performance computing. Now that seemed at odds with my...
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...
