High performance computing in the cloud just got a lot easier. Omnibond, the South Carolina-based company that provides development and support services for OrangeFS, has released CloudyCluster just in time for SC14. The new solution works in conjunction with OrangeFS to ease the burden of creating and maintaining a cloud-based HPC or Big Data infrastructure.
SC14 #HPCMatters – Celebrating the Applications
November 13, 2014 by
The doors will soon open, the curtains will rise – and what really #HPCMatters will shine in the floodlights of New Orleans. It will be the applications of HPC that define this SC conference – where the life/business/world-impacting results are found. Applications are the sharp end of the mission. But who or what lies behind application successes?
Designing a new class of racing boat with HPC
November 11, 2014 by
Emirates Team New Zealand needed a high-performance computing (HPC) environment to design a new class of multihull boats for the 2013 America’s Cup competition. The HPC horsepower was essential to design and build two massive 72-foot catamarans for racing in the Louis Vuitton Cup challenger selection series and the America’s Cup finals.

How to create Fast App Performance with Cluster Supercomputers
October 2, 2014 by
In this case study from Cray – we take a look at a powerful new model behind high-performance computing. Cluster supercomputers, like the CS300 system, are modular and energy efficient clusters with flexible configurations designed for medium- to large-scale deployments.
What is Lustre?
September 30, 2014 by
Fifteen years ago, the HPC community began developing a super fast and highly scalable parallel file system in response to the limitations of NFS. Called Lustre, it is the dominant file system technology now in use at half of the top 100 supercomputer installations worldwide (top500.org).
