This week we are looking at the basic cloud scenarios you might employ in your HPC environment. As you will see, each configuration offers benefits in the areas of cost, performance, scalability and capacity. The scenario that is right for…
Five key considerations The use of cloud computing for high-performance workloads is on the rise. Most cloud providers now offer HPC nodes with state-of-the-art CPUs, GPUs, and high-performance storage and networking. Despite this, deciding whether to take the cloud-computing plunge…
As more and more HPC users begin to look to the cloud to help solve their workload challenges, we have decided to run a series of articles introducing readers to this emerging landscape. While we usually post articles more technical…
Version 8.6.1 of Univa Grid Engine has been made generally available. This release represents a very significant update to Univa’s flagship product that reinforces its earned position as the de facto standard in workload management across a wide variety of…
To demonstrate the unique ability to run very large enterprise HPC clusters and workloads, Univa leveraged AWS to deploy 1,015,022 cores in a single Univa Grid Engine cluster to showcase the advantages of running large-scale electronic design automation (EDA) workloads…
We are very pleased to publish this case study: Univa Helps Mellanox Technologies Extend Silicon Design HPC Cluster to Hybrid Cloud Mellanox is a well-known name in the technology circles and has been racking up awards, including CEO and President…
Carving out a niche in the rapidly evolving arena of AI (Artificial Intelligence) isn’t easy – especially for an organization that doesn’t have first-mover advantage. With a clear mandate from Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)…
The term “artificial intelligence” was coined by American cognitive scientist John McCarthy in 1955 as part of his proposal for the Dartmouth Conference in 1956; the first AI conference. McCarthy, known as the “father of artificial intelligence”, developed the programming…
Recently, the industry has reached a tipping point as evidenced in our recent customer survey that showed a marked increase in the interest and use of HPC cloud. This openness is fueled in part by new applications (like distributed TensorFlow) that are…
A few years ago, while at one of the SuperComputing shows, I met with several industry analysts and tenured product people with HPC providers. We talked about the software stack and tools deployed in the enterprise to manage and monitor…
