as well as trusted, impartial and expert advice throughout the whole process of planning, procurement and commissioning. NAG has been providing robust numerical


solutions to academia and industry for 45 years; NAG is relied on by thousands for fundamental computational codes. Te NAG Library remains at the core of


applications for many academic, government and commercial institutions. New Library content is systematically developed and released regularly including example code and documentation. Library users can obtain help and advice from the development teams as part of the NAG Technical Support service. Find out more about NAG’s robust and tested compiler, relied upon by thousands of users to ensure their code will continue to work when migrated to new computational platforms in the future. www.nag.com


Scientists and engineers around the country useNASA’s (booth #333) world-class supercomputing technologies to design quieter, cleaner aircraſt and rotorcraſt; develop NASA’s new Space Launch System and launch pad; improve climate and weather predictions and understand changes to our planet; gain insights into the formation of stars and galaxies; develop capabilities for quantum computing – and much more. Come by its booth for a chance to talk with


dozens of experts about their work in support of NASA missions. For details on NASA’s High- End Computing Program and the agency’s SC15 demonstrations, visit them during the show or check out the website for more details. www.nas.nasa.gov/SC15


Visit Numascale (booth #1821) to see live predictive modelling demos that provide real- time flood prediction and IoT for anomaly detection in manufacturing. Numascale’s machine-learning model predicts future values and trends in single or multiple data streams. Utilising real-time water level sensors and weather data, Numascale’s flood prediction engine can predict floods within the next six hours and issue real-time alerts to residents. Te demo runs on Numascale’s R Appliance, which can utilise tens of terabytes of shared memory and scale to hundreds of computing cores, running on commodity servers.


Univa (booth #203) Grid Engine Container Edition fully incorporates Docker containers into the Univa Grid Engine resource manager. It features the unique ability to run containers at scale, blend containers with other workloads, and supports heterogeneous applications and technology environments. Te Container Edition’s scheduling


decisions and resource allocation of Docker containers include full job control with pre-emption, termination and run-time statistics, cluster-wide. It works with any infrastructure, operating system, and


Numascale provides turnkey systems for


the Big Data Analytics market. It combines optimised and maintained open source soſtware with its unique cache coherent shared memory architecture to deliver solutions that scale and perform extremely well. Tis combined soſtware and hardware solution is perfect for running in- memory analytics on large datasets, and provides unmatched performance at a very attractive price point. Numascale is Bigger Data Analytics. www.numascale.com


PRACE (booth #247), the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, will be showcasing its globally competitive High Performance Computing (HPC) ecosystem for European scientific and industrial competitiveness. Prace is a pan-European research infrastructure that spans 25 nations and pools resources, leading-edge supercomputers as well as HPC expertise. Te Prace systems and their operations are provided by four Prace members: BSC representing Spain, CINECA representing Italy, GCS representing Germany and GENCI representing France. Highlights at SC15 will be the Prace Open R&D access for industry and the Prace Shape Programme (SME HPC Adoption Programme) for small to medium-sized businesses. Visitors will have the opportunity to speak to Prace Experts on topics such as: the Prace

thousands of applications. Tis means that IT can be highly responsive to business needs and simultaneously gain Docker benefits. Te Univa solution also allows a user to


schedule Docker containers so that business- critical containers are prioritised over other workloads – maximising shared resources and allowing Univa customers to gain velocity and efficiency. Univa Grid Engine Container Edition is


the easiest way to containerise a data centre, making enterprises truly ready for containers, in production, at scale. www.univa.com

Spectra Logic (booth #1909) develops innovative and affordable deep storage solutions for long-term storage including archive, backup, cold storage, public and private clouds. At SC15 this year Spectra Logic will unveil


‘ArcticBlue’. A breakthrough in nearline disk storage, using Drive Lifecycle Management with power-down technology it eliminates the three- year disk obsolescence with an affordable price and support for twice the life of other nearline disk products. As part of the ‘BlackPearl’ ecosystem,


‘ArcticBlue’ is complemented by a seamless redundant copy of data to tape providing nearly unmeasurable number of ‘nines’ in durability. With an initial investment of only 10¢/GB for


a full ‘ArcticBlue’ node, and the random, parallel access to all bands (SMR HDD groups) on all nodes, ArticBlue is the perfect fit for multi-vector data common in HPC environments. Spectra Logic will also showcase a new robot,


offering significantly higher performance, as an upgrade option for TFinity. www.spectralogic.com
