HPC in Frankfurt


The trade show at ISC High Performance is expected to attract more than 160 exhibitors. Here we preview some of the exhibitors and the products and services that they will be offering to attendees


Te energy efficiency of applications and integrated cross-platform development tools are hot topics for Allinea at ISC (booth #715) this year. With energy an increasingly significant issue for HPC, Allinea is providing actionable insight into the impact of soſtware on energy consumption. Its profiler, Allinea MAP, and analysis tool, Allinea Performance Reports, already help unleash soſtware performance from vectorisation, threading and I/O on Intel Xeon and Intel Xeon Phi platforms, from technical workstations through to the highest-end supercomputers. Allinea will be demonstrating energy profiling


and measurement within the tools to enable everyone, from developers and application analysts to systems teams, to improve the energy consumption of soſtware alongside its performance. Also announced is debugging and performance profiling for 64-bit ARM processors within the Allinea Forge development tool suite, and debugging for OpenPOWER. Tis will be welcome news for sites looking to provide consistent tools across their systems, no matter what platform they deploy. www.allinea.com


Altair (booth #1110) will unveil PBS Professional 13.0 at ISC 2015. Proven for over 20 years at thousands of global sites, PBS Professional manages workloads for the world’s largest supercomputers. Te 13.0 version, released just weeks before ISC, is architected for exascale with million-core scalability, end-to-end resilience, expanded plug- in framework, finer-grained scheduling controls, and more. Come and find out why OEMs like Cray and SGI have named PBS Pro their ‘preferred job scheduler’. ISC attendees will also learn more about


Altair’s PBS Works suite. Featuring portals for simplified job submission, management and 3D data visualisation, PBS Works simplifies HPC and makes it more accessible for users of all kinds. Altair will also feature a demo of our unique Soſtware Asset Optimization (SAO) product – stop by to learn how this powerful tool helps

We will show a selection of our bullx servers, such as the bullx DLC B720 Direct Liquid


companies right-size their expensive soſtware license investments. www.pbsworks.com


Asetek (booth #710) features data centres using hot water liquid cooling and real-world use of its RackCDU Liquid Cooling is on the fast- track. See for yourself how Asetek successfully addresses data centre demands at the University of Tromso, Mississippi State University, NREL, and elsewhere, while working with Cray, Fujitsu and other OEMs. In addition, Asetek will be presenting at the


ISC Exhibitor’s Forum on Tuesday 14 July from 4:40 pm to 05:00 pm. Te presentation will feature real world installations of liquid cooling. www.asetek.com


Bright Computing, (booth #920) a provider of vendor-independent cluster and cloud management soſtware, announces Version


7.1 of Bright Cluster Management Solution for HPC – advanced cluster management made easy. Enhancements include open source Puppet configuration management, Dell BIOS operation, and fully integrated support for Intel Enterprise Edition for Lustre soſtware. Version 7.1 also incorporates many


performance improvements, and expanded workload management support. Finer-grained


Cooled servers that are cooled with warm water, and the bullx S6000 servers, engineered for high performance and in-memory computing, with an architecture supporting up to 288 cores and exceptional memory of up to 24TB. Bull will also be showcasing its extreme factory HPC-as-a-service solution. Bull’s Centre for Excellence in Parallel Programming will explain


how they help customers modify their codes


to extract more parallelism, and support more heterogeneity. www.bull.com/bull-solutions/extreme- computing


management control, including kernel settings, performance of internals, and communication improvements, enhances the platform further. Visit the booth for a demo of the latest Bright


HPC solution, given by Bright’s Engineers, and product specialists who developed the new 7.1 features. Bright will also be demonstrating Bright


Cluster Manager for Apache Hadoop, which offers a deep integration with widely-used distributions and apps, and Bright OpenStack, which makes it easy to deploy, manage, and operate cloud infrastructures. info.brightcomputing.com


CoolIT Systems (booth #1210) features Direct Contact Liquid Cooling solutions for data centres and HPC clusters. Discover how CoolIT’s solutions


liquid-cool racks of high-density servers to save energy, increase performance, and provide a quiet, reliable cooling environment for customers. Case studies for HPC centres such as the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Centre, and the Technical University of Denmark will be presented. On display will be Rack DCLC AHx, CHx and RDHx systems plus solutions for Intel’s coming KNL processor that provide immediate and measurable Capex and Opex benefits. CoolIT Systems will host a Birds-of-a-Feather
