2 Var finns HPC? War Gaming Scientific Research Mechanical Engineering / Virtual Prototyping Geo Sciences Finance Problem somlämparsig förhpc är CPU-intensiva Dataintensiva (I/O) Numeriskt intensiva Komplexa beräkningar med stora dataset High-End Film and Video Life and Materials Sciences Electronic Design Automation Government Classified Product Lifecycle Management/ Informatics

3 Go Virtual Analysis Pointwise CFD++ RadTherm FieldView Workstations HP Augmented Reality Product Development PLM/CAD Visualisation HPC Systems Cyviz (Autodesk) (RTT) (AR Tracking) Hewlett-Packard Mellanox QLogic Panasas DDN Microsoft Red Hat Adaptive Computing

4 Go Virtual in Brief Distributor of Hardware and Software - Specialized in solutions for High Performance Computing, Visualization and CFD. Founded 2002 Offices in Göteborg, Stockholm, and Düsseldorf Customers in 13 European countries 14 employees Accumulated Sales: 70 Systems 700 TFLOPS Servers Cores

5 Go Virtual Design Model Using our unique knowledge about CAE applications, HPC, and IT, your HPC solution will have an optimized configuration for end use. End User Applications Type of analysis Model sizes Requirements on solve time Number of simultaneous jobs License availability Conceptual Environment How to run jobs Application scaling characteristics License cost Data storage/ management User access Corporate Policies System Configuration Rack/Blade/ScaleOut? CPU model Memory Disk IO System Storage System Corproate Policies Operating System

6 Go Virtual TurnKey Cluster Delivery In the solution price you get: Hardware Operating System, Cluster Management Scheduling Software Collaborative configuration definition project System installation and integration Infrastructure for end user access and job submission System documentation 3 year vendor support contracts for hardware and software components 3 year Go Virtual Premium Cluster Support for cluster level functionality Done prior to delivery: Hardware installation Rack cabling OS installation Management software installed System configuration (host names IP, etc) Fully burn-in load phase, faulty parts replaced. Performance tuned parameters for hw

7 Go Virtual Benchmark Centre Free to use for customers, prospects, and ISVs if results are shared Depending on applications, licenses may need to be provided by customer Assistance from Go Virtual Specialists Base Infrastructure: 4 x HP BL c7000 Enclosures QLogic & Voltaire InfiniBand Standard File Server and Panasas Parallel Storage System Microsoft & Red Hat Servers replaced every 3-6 months White boxes with new technologies regularly tested

8 Success Story I Kund med mjukvaru- och hårdvarulösningar från Go Virtual Klassisk Design Process Krav Enkel Parametriserad geometri Design (CAD) Simulering (CAE) Produktion Förbättrad Design Process Krav Enkel Parametriserad geometri Simulering (CAE) Design (CAD) Verifierande Simulering (CAE) Produktion Denna kunds förändring av designprocessen ledde till en ökning av verkningsgrad från 81% till 87% för produkten i fråga. För att möjliggöra detta ökade mängden simuleringar.

9 Centraliserad HPC/IT-miljö Interaktivt arbete på arbetsstation Lösaren (CFD++) på central resurs Central datalagring under hela processen Fördelar Möjliggör större problemstorlekar Analysera rätt problem Möljliggör fler samtidiga problem per användare Analysera varianter Möjliggör Optimering Möjliggör Robusthetsstudier Möjliggör Automatisering Ingenjör kan fokusera på analys av problem Möjliggör optimering av licensutnyttjande - Sänker kostnader Data lagras centralt och säkert Solve LAN Central HPC Resource Store Dedicated Storage for CAE Engineers

10 Differences between Volume IT and HPC Volym IT Allusers of a particular system/application use it in a very similar way. Usage pattern is often predictable. Many users/server HPC Users may havedifferent needs and may use the same system/application differently. All users individual needs must be understood when designing the system. Many servers/user Use standard solutions for allusers. Standardise on as few systems and technologies for as many users as possible. Use standard components if possible. Design the system for its specific purpose Adapt interfaces to fit with IT infrastructure Virtualisation. Multiple applications may share onephysical server to lower hardware cost. Don t virtualise. Many servers are usually required to handle the workload from one application.

11 Differences between Volume IT and HPC Volume IT The IT Support Function is usually splittedin teams supporting application, database, infrastructure, etc. HPC Theuser workflow/process, the applications, and the infrastructure must all be understood to a certain level in order to provide support. A HPC team is recommended. Vendorsupport per hardwarecomponent (server, switch, os, etc) is sufficient. Asupport service also covering the behaviour of the entire system is recommended. Make sure to have clear interfaces to other systems. High support levels are common. High Availability solutions exists. A server failure may potentially impact many users. Low support levels are usual Aserver failure is not critical Adjust service level to what users need.

12 Success Story Go Virtual och HP hjälper <classified> att sänka energiförbrukning Utbyte av 3 år gammal utrustning till ny utrustning Ny utrustning baserad på low power -komponenter Ny utrustning ökar densitet med mer än 50% Mer än 60% minskning i energiförbrukning Nummer 21 på Green Top 500 (högst placering med traditionell klusterteknologi)
