What is cloud HPC(High Performance Computing)?

1. Researchers & Engineers can solve complexed sciences, analysis and simulation, which was needed high bandwidth, instant networking and high-volumed computing power.

2. Generally speaking, users had to purchase expensive HW or wait long time to use shared cluster resources. But these days, users can process his HPC workload easily using cloudHPC infra resources and just pay as he used.

HPC service is to do high-volumed computation and data storing with many a clustered VM.
Users report Job to head node for problem solving and head node allocates Job to computing nodes in accordanc with priority and usage volume.
The computing output can be reported by head node. For this, computing node help to control work process by GUI.

Terminology
- Head node: HPC control computer to admin multiple computing node
- Computing node: Computing node to do high volumed computing work, controlled by Head node
- PBS Professional: SW solution to admin HPC work load
- Compute manager: Web service to execute command and file transfer by simple web browser

Solution Introduction

PBS Professional® was developed in 1990 by NASA Ames Reaearch Institute and has been proven its stability. And now, it is used in global 500 companies to do high-volume HPC computing. PBS Professional is to manage computing resources(CPU memory,disk etc.) and to guide HPC resources allocation plan for work analysis Altair Compute Manager is web bowser-based HPC interface. It is possible to do simple work using HPC and do monitoring status and check its output by chart and animation. Most of solving work can be done by compute manager and no need to worry about big simulation work.
