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…
We recently had the pleasure of meeting with Gary Smith of Vertex, a life sciences company in Boston. Gary is an HPC Engineer and is using Univa Grid Engine for workload management and bursting to Amazon from their on-premise cluster….
Dubbed “The Premier AI Conference”, NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) opens its doors in San Jose from March 17 to 21, 2019. This conference series is absolutely jam-packed with opportunities around every corner: training, speakers, workshops, events, plus direct access…
There has never been a more exciting year for Bio-IT World. Taking the show on the road after 17 years in Boston as the premier event showcasing IT and informatics technologies driving biomedical research, the Bio-IT World Conference & Expo…
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 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…
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,…
