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…
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…
We are thrilled to announce that Navops Launch, our hybrid cloud management platform, was named silver winner for Enterprise Product of the Year in the 2018 Best in Biz Awards. This independent business awards program is judged by top-tier publications…
We hope to see you at AI World Conference & Expo this December 3 – 5, 2018 in Boston. AI World Conference and Expo is focused on the state of the practice of artificial intelligence in the enterprise. The 3-day…
It’s easier than you probably think For HPC applications, containers are a great way to install software and ensure portability across clusters and clouds. Containers can encapsulate complete, pre-tested environments allowing users to mix and match different applications and versions…
