Engineers, analysts and researchers using HPC systems face their own challenges in optimizing designs, interpreting data and discovery. Dealing with everyday complications of working with HPC systems, infrastructure and tools should not be one of them. Enabling HPC Simplicity means capturing knowledge and expertise within a solution that broadens HPC access and eases work, even for experienced users. This white paper describes just some of the ways the HPC Gateway offers this simplicity.

Square Kilometer Array in HPC
August 31, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Next generation radio telescopes will require tremendous amounts of compute power. With the current state of the art, the Square Kilometer Array (SKA), currently entering its pre-construction phase, will require in excess of one ExaFlop/s in order to process and reduce the massive amount of data generated by the sensors. The nature of the processing involved means that conventional high performance computing (HPC) platforms are not ideally suited. Con- sequently, the Square Kilometer Array project requires active and intensive involvement from both the high performance computing research community, as well as industry, in order to make sure a suitable system is available when the telescope is built. In this paper, we present a first analysis of the processing required, and a tool that will facilitate future analysis and external involvement.

Organizations that implement high-performance computing (HPC) technologies have a wide range of requirements. From small manufacturing suppliers to national research institutions, using significant computing technologies is critical to creating innovative products and leading-edge research. No two HPC installations are the same. For maximum return, budget, software requirements, performance and customization all must be considered before installing and operating a successful environment.

Advanced simulation software can dramatically shorten the design phase by allowing engineers to virtually optimize and validate new ideas earlier in the process, minimizing the expense of building physical prototypes and streamlining real-world testing.
Meet Apollo – Reinventing HPC and the Supercomputer
August 31, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Administrators, engineers and executives are now tasked with solving some of the world’s most complex challenges. This could revolve around advanced computations for science, business, education, pharmaceuticals and beyond. Here’s the challenge – many data centers are reaching peak levels of resource consumption; and there’s more work to be done. So how are engineers and scientists supposed to continue working around such high-demand applications? How can they continue to create ground-breaking research while still utilizing optimized infrastructure? How can a platform scale to the new needs and demands of these types of users and applications. This is where HP Apollo Systems help reinvent the modern data center and accelerate your business.
