Convergence of HPC, AI and Big Data@MACC

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…

Container Orchestration on HPC Platforms

The last decade witnessed a new era of software development that allows software developers to write applications independently of the target environment by packaging them along with their dependencies and environment variables inside containers. Numerous studies [1-2] have shown that containers are optimal for building and running applications reliably on Read more…

Monitoring in the Big Data era

Monitoring can be described as a three-step process, composed of collecting, storing, and alerting. Each of these steps is intrinsically simple and understandable by everyone: collecting is the process of gathering the necessary data, where this can be a temperature sensor, RAM usage counter, power consumption, or the number of Read more…
