Lustre will continue to grow in enterprise settings, but as we have described in part one and part two of this extended series on the state of the HPC-centric file system, it appears it will probably not have a sudden, meteoric rise to the top of the large enterprise list if users are not already invested in high performance computing infrastructure and applications. …
Big data arguably originated in the global high-performance computing (HPC) community in the 1950s for government applications such as cryptography, weather forecasting, and space exploration. …
As we described in detail in the previous section of this series on the state of Lustre and the roadmap for the parallel file system, beyond traditional HPC, the file system has some weaknesses for large-scale enterprise shops. …
DNA sequencing has been driving unprecedented discoveries in the life sciences since the emergence of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies ten years ago. …
While it is generally considered stable and reliable in large-scale environments, Lustre is not without a few key weaknesses, which the small vendor community supporting it are often first to point out. …
The phrase, “past results are not indicative of future returns” can be applied across the board in life, but in financial services, this philosophy has become a strategic, mathematical principle to live by. …
From processors, memory, network, and beyond, making architectural choices to support large-scale genomics research is often fed as much by trial and error as it is empirical knowledge about what will work for a demanding application set. …
When it comes to cluster computing, what’s old is new again– at least for Global 2000 companies that are leaving behind the monolithic enterprise systems and appliances and moving into the scale-out Linux cluster camp. …
If you haven’t heard of Flink until now, get ready for the deluge. …
As one of the fastest growing markets in HPC, the manufacturing sector is looking to supercomputing to drive its next generation of product modeling and simulation. …
