High Performance Computing Solutions with Great Return of Investment (ROI)
Here at Workstation & Specialist our vast range of high performance computing clusters can help solve some of the most challenging computational intensive tasks available. By integrating the very latest advances in industry standard multi-core processor technology, ultra high performance error correction memory (ECC). high speed interconnects and leading open source/commercial software, our unique HPC clusters can deliver the performance and stability required by today's leading design, engineering and scientific professionals. High Performance Computing Solutions with Streamlined Deployment and Management
Our vast range of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems are designed to simplify the overall HPC deploy/management process. A standard infrastructure stack from Workstation Specialists is designed using individually custom built 1U ultra high performance cluster nodes (these are available in a variety of specifications and feature 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16x cpu ores) that feature only the very latest multi-core microprocessor technologies. The result is a highly scalable HPC solution that can deliver exceptional performance and manageability, whilst still providing a great return of investment (ROI). We then streamline the implementation process by validating and pre-configuring each cluster node to meet a wide variety of application needs (CAD/CAM/CAE Analysis, 3D Image REndering, Oil/Gas, Scientific Calculations etc). Our unique HPC solutions deliver supercomputing performance to business's of any size, whilst reducing cost and complexity of ownership. High Performance Computing (HPC): How it Works...
Our High Performance Computing Clusters (or HPCC for short) are designed to enable high performance parallel computing and consist of one or more master nodes (the Master) and one or more compute nodes (the Slaves) interconnected by a private ultra high performance infiniband network infrastructure. Each HPCC (or stacks as they are more commonly known) are built using standard 1U sized server clusters. The 'master' node is designed to provide the stack with its main gateway to external resources and supports the Network File System (NFS). The compute 'slave' nodes are the cluster workhorses and are designed to perform parallel computing tasks (deployed by the parallel software applications). Typically, access and management of slave nodes are provided via remote interfaces, such as Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) or serial port connections through the 'master' node. |
