5 Easy Steps to a High Performance Cluster (HPC)
November 25, 2014 by
Engineers are being asked to do more in less time to meet ever-tightening time-to-market schedules. To do so, they need to accelerate design by making use of advanced engineering software. However, such software requires computing processing power not available in a typical engineering workstation. Learn how a cluster can deliver aggregated computing power from its many processors with many cores to meet the processing demands of more complex engineering software, and therefore deliver results faster than individual workstations.
Slidecast: QNIBTerminal Plus InfiniBand – Containerized MPI Workloads
