XTREME-D IaaS Platform Works to Simplify HPC Cloud Cluster Management
December 11, 2018 by Leave a Comment
An IaaS platform can help keep HPC cloud cluster users out of the cluster management business. A new white paper from XTREME-D, “Point and Click HPC: The XTREME-Stargate IaaS Platform”, explores how the Stargate platform, that provides a web portal to cluster resources, can increase user efficiency, eliminate cluster administration costs and acts as a “pay-as-you-go” cloud model, simplifying HPC cloud clusters and making them more accessible.
Deconstructing the Complexities of the Data Pipeline for Connected Cars
December 3, 2018 by Leave a Comment
A connected car can generate up to a gigabyte of data per day, and perhaps even more. Impressively, it is estimated that there are approximately 2 million connected cars on our roadways at this very moment. This means the storage demands can be up to 200 exabytes per day. IBM walks readers through the complexities of the data pipeline for connected cars, and how to address these challenges and storage questions.
Solving the Data Management Challenge of Autonomous Driving
