HPC in the cloud

When organizations have some critical, mega data crunching tasks on their laps, high-performance computers are typically their weapon of choice.

Supercomputers are well known for turning over computing intensive assignments on very tight schedules, but now on-demand private clouds are extending their capabilities even further.

Cluster computing (the networking of HPCs and other hardware into a single system) has tremendously improved the allocation of complex task to the appropriate system thus saving organizations time and money, some organizations are adding on-demand private cloud into the mix to realize even greater performance and cost saving, according to a recent post on Techredaction.com.

Adaptive is now partnering with supercomputer manufacturing firm Cray Inc. to provide Moab to a research institute in Germany.
