Adaptive Computing Speeds Time to Discovery with Fast, Flexible, And Energy Efficient HP HPC Capabilities
LEIPZIG, Germany --(Business Wire)--
Adaptive Computing (News - Alert), the company that powers many of the world's largest
private/hybrid cloud and technical computing environments with its Moab
optimization and scheduling software, today announced it has combined
technologies with HP to deliver greater performance and higher
throughput by running Adaptive's Nitro on HP Apollo Systems. The
technology combo of Moab 8.0 and the HP Apollo Systems allows users to
achieve even greater power savings due to the new power management
capabilities in Moab 8.0 coupled with the HP Apollo ultra low-energy
usage. In addition, Adaptive is providing HP Helion Self-Service HPC
Solution implementation and management services. Adaptive Computing and
HP will be exhibiting at the International
Supercomputing Conference (ISC) 2014 from June 22-26, 2014 in
Leipzig, Germany in Adaptive's booth # 710 and HP booth # 350, where
these new capabilities will be on display.
"HP and Adaptive Computing have had a long-standing partnership. Our
tight integration and relationship allow us to accelerate insights and
further deliver on our Big Workflow promise to process intense
simulations and data analysis faster, more accurately and most cost
effectively," says Rob Clyde, CEO of Adaptive Computing. "The new
developments of HP Apollo and Moab 8.0 help business achieve greater
efficiency and performance to speed the time to discovery."
HP Apollo Family The HP Apollo family of
high-performance computing (HPC) systems are capable of delivering
up to four times the performance of standard rack
servers while using less space and energy. The new offerings reset
data center expectations by combining an innovative modular
design with breakthrough power distribution and cooling techniques.
These innovations let the HP Apollo portfolio deliver superior
performance and density at a lower total cost of ownership.
HP Apollo builds on HP's legacy of server leadership and innovation,
leading the market in the creation of x86 servers, blade servers and HP
Moonshot extreme lower-power, software defined servers. The new HP
Apollo portfolio includes the air-cooled HP Apollo 6000 System, which
maximizes performance efficiency and makes HPC capabilities accessible
to a wide range of enterprise customers. The HP Apollo 8000 System, a
supercomputerthat combines high levels of processing power with a
groundbreaking water-cooling design for ultra-low energy usage.
"HP values its relationship with Adaptive Computing as scheduling and
optimization is a key component to maximizing utilization and
streamlining the simulation and analysis process," says Scott Misage,
general manager, High Performance Computing, HP. "The combination of HP
Apollo and Moab enhance the performance, savings, and abilities of the
already highly efficient Apollo Systems."
Nitro Fuels HP Apollo Adaptive's new Nitro advanced high
throughput computing delivers 100 times faster job throughput for short
computing jobs. Nitro is a localized decision-making tool that enables
high-speed throughput on short computing jobs. Capable of running on
Moab, Torque and other non-Adaptive environments, Nitro launches 10 jobs
per node per second for up to 100x faster throughput, all while reducing
latency. This results in greater efficiency when executing short jobs,
which are very common for today's workloads, running for a handful of
seconds and requesting few resources. By combining Nitro with the HP
Apollo Systems, even greater performance and higher throughput for short
computing jobs is achieved in a smaller footprint.
HPC as a Service Adaptive Computing is participating in the
new HP Helion Self-Service HPC solution that empowers organizations to
rapidly deliver more competitive products and insights by making
high-performance computing (HPC) resources more agile and easier to
access via an HPC-optimized private cloud. This new solution provides a
self-service portal that enables HPC resources to be used as easily as a
familiar application-thereby making them accessible for more staff. The
solution also allows HPC to be accessible and manageable for
organizations by giving them the choice to manage it themselves or have
HP HPC experts implement and manage it for them through a pay-for-use
model that lets them stay focused on delivering products and innovation.
Adaptive Computing is providing workload scheduling and optimization
middleware software for the solution due to its tight integration with
HP software and hardware.
Advanced Power Management Moab 8.0 creates energy cost
savings up to 15-30 percent with new clock frequency control and
additional power state options. With clock frequency control,
administrators can adjust CPU speeds to align with workload processing
speeds through job templates. In addition, administrators can manage
multiple power states and automatically place compute nodes in new
low-power or no-power states (suspend, hibernation and shutdown modes)
when nodes are idle. Combining Moab 8.0 with the HP Apollo Systems,
energy constraints become more manageable.
