FAQ
We routinely review provision of HPC services for customers and provide advice on how best to expand existing HPC services. It’s worth noting that deciding how best to deliver greater capacity without service disruption means balancing functional and non-functional requirements. For any system we help procure we consider scalability and expansion options to help an organisation plan for capacity growth.
If you’re not sure where to start we’re always happy to look at your current applications and workflows to help ensure optimal use of your HPC resources. Using a combination of performance analysis, software stack optimisation, resource management and system tuning our consultants help you get the best from your current HPC solutions.
Whether you have a legacy job scheduler or are using a modern state of the art workflow and job management tool, their interaction with the rest of the HPC software stack and hardware systems isn’t always straightforward. Subtle issues in how jobs are launched and how they map to your HPC system can introduce unexpected and hard to debug inefficiencies or issues.
