The University of Hull engaged the services of Red Oak Consulting in support of the procurement and implementation for Viper, our first Institutional HPC. The support the University received from Owen and the team at Red Oak was exceptional and went above and beyond our expectations. They brought real expertise and professionalism to the project which allowed us to deliver on time and under budget with a much reduced risk profile. As we look towards Vipers replacement In 2023-24 we will again look to the experience and gravitas that Red Oak bring to proceedings.”
University of Hull
The procurement was highly successful. Owen was highly professional and highly knowledgeable. And Mark really saved the day for us. Both Owen and Mark smoothly integrated into the KAUST team but more importantly, believed in our mission to deliver this computer in order to support the global ambitions of KAUST and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

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.
