PSSC Labs Delivers Xeon-based HPC Clusters


December 13, 2017

The PowerWulf HPC clusters from PSSC Labs are now available with Intel’s new Xeon Scalable Processors and Omni-Path HPC Fabric. The company says these clusters are based on Intel’s Data Center Blocks and can be useful for such high-performance computing, real-time analytics, and virtualized infrastructure applications.

“Intel’s integrated and fully-validated Data Center Blocks enable PSSC Labs to deliver more efficient and turnkey approach and reduce time to market, complexity and the costs of system design, validation and integration,” said Alex Lesser, executive vice president of PSSC Labs. “Partnering with Intel allows us to offer our customers the latest hardware options in our line of custom turnkey PowerWulf HPC clusters for a variety of applications across government, academic and commercial environments.”

PSSC Labs PowerWulf HPC Clusters are available as config-to-order. And they offer the following features:

·         a performance increase up to 1.65 times that of the previous generation

·         RedHat, SUSE, and CentOS Linux support

·         multiple models with different support options

·         Intel Fabric Suite 10.5.1, Lustre 2.10

·         Intel Omni-Path Host Fabric Interface (Intel OP HFI) Adapter 100 Series and FDR/EDR InfiniBand Fabric

·         Intel Datacenter SATA and NVMe Solid State Drives (SSD)

These HPC clusters also come with the PSSC Labs CBeST Cluster Management Toolkit (Complete Beowulf Software Toolkit). That means you get a preconfigured solution with all the necessary hardware, network settings and cluster management software. And PowerWulf HPC Clusters includes a three year unlimited phone / email support package (with additional year support available). Support is provided by a U.S.-based team of engineers from PSSC Labs.

PSSC Labs has an impressive list of customers, including MIT, the National Institutes of Health, NASA, the U.S. Airforce, and the U.S. Army. Integral Ad Science, Shutterstock, and Vimeo are also among its customers.

Day 3, Cisco Live!

Day 3 of Cisco Live is history! For Fiber Mountain, we continued to enjoy visits from decision makers and influencers who were eager to share their data center and structured cabling challenges.

Day 2, Cisco Live!

Tuesday was Day 2 of Cisco Live for Fiber Mountain and we continued to experience high levels of traffic, with many high value decision makers and influencers visiting our booth. One very interesting difference from most conferences I attend is that there are no titles on anyone's show badges. This allows open conversations without people being pretentious. I think this is a very good idea.
