Monitoring is a crucial aspect in the optimization of performance and efficiency of any given system, more so in High-Performance Computing (HPC) which are highly complex. The BigHPC monitoring solution aims to provide users visibility into their job’s resource utilisation and to empower sysadmins to optimally allocate resources for enhanced Read more…
The gap between the developers’ environment and the complexity of BigHPC infrastructure brings a challenge that can be solved by joining together teams that normally have different perspectives. The developers and infrastructure managers provide the experience required to understand the software delivery and operation tasks, but lack the contract to Read more…
Modern supercomputers are establishing a new era in High-Performance Computing (HPC), providing unprecedented compute power that enables large-scale parallel applications to run at massive scale. However, contrary to long-lived assumptions about HPC workloads, where applications were compute-bound and write-dominated (such as scientific simulations), modern applications like Deep Learning training are Read more…
HPC services are no longer solely targeted at traditional HPC applications, highly parallel modeling and simulation tasks. Indeed, the computational power offered by theses services is now being used to support data-centric Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. By combining both types of computational paradigms, HPC infrastructures will be Read more…
