HPC and AI Workloads Drive Storage System Design

Many organizations are tied to outdated storage systems that cannot meet HPC and AI workload needs. Designing high‑throughput, highly scalable HPC storage systems require expert planning and configuration. The Dell Validated Designs for HPC Storage solution offers a way to quickly upgrade antiquated storage….

With 4X Boost, Cumulus-2 HPC Cluster Goes into Climate Research Action at Oak Ridge Atmospheric Facility

Oak Ridge, TN — Oak Ridge National Laboratory has launched a new, more powerful computer system to support climate data research conducted by the DOE’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility. Procured and managed by the National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS) at ORNL, the Cumulus-2 cluster is a Dell HPC system with 16,384 processing cores […]

Two Key Considerations of a Composable Infrastructure Cluster

In this sponsored post, our friends over at Silicon Mechanics indicated that these days, they’re getting a lot of interest from clients about composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI), including what the most critical elements are for CDI-based clusters. Successful deployments are more likely when clients understand why their design team focuses on certain areas more than others and how design decisions can impact end user experience, so this article outlines some key elements of CDI-based clusters.

Solving AI Cluster Design Challenges with a Building Block Approach

[SPONSORED POST] When considering a large complex system, such as an AI cluster, supercomputer, or compute cluster, you may think you only have two options—build from scratch from the ground up, or buy a pre-configured, supercomputer-in-a-box from a major technology vendor that everyone else is buying. But there is a third option that takes a best-of-both-worlds approach. This gives you “building blocks” expertly designed around network, storage, and compute configurations that are balanced, but also flexible enough to provide scalability for your specific project needs.
