Among Grid Engine users, there is a high interest in cloud computing. In a recent InsideHPC survey sponsored by Univa, 92% of users said that they were “open to or already using cloud,” and 64% described cloud as “having proven…
Key findings from the latest InsideHPC cloud survey HPC cloud spending is on the rise. Recent research from HPC analyst firm Hyperion Research shows a dramatic 60 percent increase in cloud spend from just under $2.5 billion in 2018 to…
Used by thousands of organizations around the world, Univa Grid Engine is one of the world’s most popular and capable grid management systems with a vibrant, growing user community. When application providers describe their support for Grid Engine, they often…
While there are many benefits to leveraging the cloud for HPC, there are challenges as well. Along with security and cost, data handling is consistently identified as a top barrier. Data requirements vary by application, datasets are often large, and…
Why planning for flexibility is the key to success Over the past two years, we’ve seen a dramatic acceleration in cloud adoption for HPC. This is validated by our 2018 Univa customer survey where 61% of respondents indicated that they…
GPUs play an important role in HPC accelerating applications from molecular dynamics to deep learning. In previous articles, we’ve discussed how Univa Grid Engine supports efficient scheduling of GPU resources. We’ve also covered Univa Grid Engine support for Docker and…
Building a million core cluster isn’t easy, but here are some tips to help set you on the right path to achieving extreme scale HPC When Amazon approached us to build another one million core cluster, this time with a…
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 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…
SC19 was a fascinating experience for us at Univa! Between the talks, panels, draws and our very own booth, we met with attendees as excited about HPC (and the cloud!) as our team. This Supercomputing conference was unlike any other…
