What to see in Seattle
The exhibition at SC11 takes place from 14-17 November in Seattle. Here’s a preview of what will be on show
Advanced Cluster Systems will present the Supercomputing Engine Technology (SET), a general-purpose library enabling quick adaptation of new and legacy mainstream software applications to multicore, clusters, and supercomputers without complex parallel compilers or parallel languages or ‘breaking’ such applications. The company’s patent-pending technology provides infrastructure for the message-passing and parallel-computing patterns most useful for mainstream applications, especially those with modular structure. SET, adopting the paradigm of the industry-standard Message-Passing Interface (MPI), is designed for mainstream software writers to achieve practical parallelism quickly. Applying SET to Wolfram’s Mathematica parallelised that large mainstream application, without changing any Mathematica code, in one man-month, creating an industry-disrupting product. The company will present SET’s API, structure, and supporting Unix- and Linux- compatible technologies.

Altair, the digital simulation experts, will demonstrate how it solves the world’s most complex problems through its creation of HPC simulation apps, the delivery of HPC management tools, and the use of apps/tools to build real products. PBS Professional is the ‘hub’ for its HPC solutions, manages and schedules the process of big data, providing users with optimised resource utilisation, maximum security and reliability. Altair’s HPC simulation solver, Radioss, is powered by PBS Professional’s ability to minimise job turn-around time. Altair’s user-centric portals increase productivity, allowing users to focus on work at-hand. Compute Manager allows users to run, monitor, and manage workloads on distributed resources remotely, while PBS Desktop launches jobs from the workstation to any server running PBS Professional. Finally, HyperWorks On-Demand, the company’s HPC cloud computing offering, is built on Altair’s own dedicated and secured infrastructure.

Appro is a leading developer of innovative supercomputing solutions and continues to produce award-winning products. At
this year’s SC’11, Appro will showcase its next generation Xtreme-X Supercomputer featuring latest cutting-edge cluster technologies and future processors from AMD, Intel and Nvidia wrapped with the latest release of the Appro’s Cluster Engine management software. The Xtreme-X supercomputer is a highly scalable architecture that groups HPC servers together into a unifi ed Scalable Unit (SU) that can be managed as a standalone supercomputer. This system is ideal for medium to large-scale deployments demanding HPC applications requiring high availability and fl exibility. ACE Management Software was designed from the ground up and is tightly integrated with the Appro Xtreme-X Supercomputer to provide complete lights-out remote management capability. ACE offers easy to use graphical and command line management interface allowing for precise control over the Xtreme-X from any location while not risking any loss of performance.
