How hard is your cluster working for you?
You’ve been thinking about buying a high performance computing (HPC) cluster with your next grant proposal to utilize cluster computing in your research. Grid computing would be a handy asset to have but there isn’t any expertise on site that can build or manage one for you.
Does that mean your going to have to learn it yourself and administer it? It can certainly take away a lot of time from doing the actual research that you had planned.
Don’t let the thoughts of getting the computer cluster up and running scare you. Let us Help! We can spec out the hardware and get quotes for your grant proposal. When your funding is approved and you purchase the hardware we’ll get started putting it all together. Once it’s up and running basic maintenance is relatively simple. You can outsource that task to your local IT department or purchase a yearly support contract.
We’ll get the computer cluster running with a queue system, personalized wiki web site of instructions on how to use the computer cluster, performance monitoring software, kickstart re-imagining software, LDAP authentication system, and build/install any software used for your research.
With our hardware partner, Red Barn Technology Group we are able to provide hardware quotes to meet the demanding needs of research. From simple gigabit ethernet serial computer clusters, beowulf clusters, shared memory clusters, to highly parallel computing Infiniband and/or GPU cluster nodes, we’re no stranger to the high performance computing technology.
If you already have the hardware, no problem! We have worked with many types of systems and vendors … Sun, HP, Dell, SGI, SuperMicro and Apple Xserve are just a few.
