The Rice Oil & Gas High Performance Computing Conference, hosted annually (this is year 12) at Rice University in Houston, Texas, is the premier networking and learning event for HPC in the oil and gas industry. Several hundred participants from…
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a fundamental practice in bioinformatics. Pipelines are comprised of complex, multi-step processes involving many different tools and intermediate data formats. With easy access to cloud infrastructure and containerized applications that are portable across clouds, users…
A primer on using Univa Grid Engine with GPU-aware applications In Part I of this two-part article, I provided a short primer on GPUs, explained how they are used in HPC and AI, and covered some of the challenges users…
A primer on using Univa Grid Engine with GPU-aware applications For almost two decades, GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) have been steadily revolutionizing high-performance computing (HPC) and AI. Originally designed for graphics-intensive applications such as gaming and image processing, it didn’t…
In life sciences research, solving big problems increasingly requires the fusion of genetic data with other rich data sets from omics, imaging, medical records to population-level studies. HPC, Analytics and AI make these types data wrangling possible, but they often…
Univa received some good tidings this holiday season, allowing us to kick-off the new year right – we have been named a finalist in the 2018-2019 Cloud Awards in the Best Hybrid Cloud Solution category! For those unfamiliar with the…
A step-by-step guide In an earlier article, we compared the big three container technologies for HPC (Docker, Singularity, and Shifter). In a subsequent article, we provided a tutorial explaining how to use Univa Grid Engine (UGE) to manage Docker workloads….
The elephant in the room for hybrid cloud projects For enterprises considering a move to the cloud, data management is often a key consideration. Whether you’re planning a hybrid environment where an on-premises cluster will share data with cloud instances,…
@navopsrob In 2017, AWS rolled out 1,400 new features and 2018 appears to have continued that remarkable momentum. Last week I had the opportunity to watch the many announcements (and even participate in one) made at the AWS re:Invent conference…
Hybrid cloud has become an essential approach to high performance computing (HPC), helping enterprises increase their competitiveness and efficiency. Earlier this year, our Univa customer survey revealed hybrid cloud as the model of choice for 70% of surveyed enterprise customers…
