SAN DIEGO, Nov. 15 – StackIQ today announced the immediate availability of StackIQ Enterprise HPC, the newest addition to their comprehensive cluster management product line. Powered by Rocks+, and building on StackIQ's successful Enterprise Data offering, the new product provides the very latest in HPC cluster management software.
StackIQ has updated their Rocks+ HPC product to embrace the many enterprise-grade capabilities already available in their Enterprise Data solution. Customers familiar with the company's Rocks+ HPC product will be delighted to know that the new software is a direct upgrade of their previous release – with several new and enhanced capabilities.
StackIQ Enterprise HPC is based on the latest enterprise grade Linux – Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS 6.3 – and features a new easier to use graphical user interface, while retaining the powerful command line interface Rocks+ power users know and love.
In addition to the new GUI, nearly every module has been updated, from the HPC Roll (which contains a preconfigured OpenMPI environment), to the Intel, Dell, Univa Grid Engine (UGE), Moab, Mellanox, Open Grid Scheduler / Grid Engine (GE), and CUDA Rolls.
Administrators will find it easier to track cluster health using new advanced cluster diagnostics tools, while developers will find it easier than ever to develop and debut Rolls using features like the filtered "profiles" tab in the GUI.
StackIQ also added advanced firewall configuration to enhance the security of HPC clusters, making them more robust and able to be integrated into today's enterprise data center environments.
"We are thrilled to bring this major update to our HPC customers in time for the annual SC12 conference," said Tim McIntire, President and co-founder of StackIQ. "By bringing the enterprise features of our Enterprise Data product to the HPC products, we've improved the HPC product, while making it easier for those building hybrid HPC/Hadoop clusters to get their work done."

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

When it comes to cloud, long distances mean unacceptably high latencies. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany examined those latency issues of doing CFD modeling in the cloud by utilizing a common CFD and its utilization in HPC instance types including both CPU and GPU cores of Amazon EC2.
