This is a nice explanation of what biomedical researchers are doing with HPC server. (minimal fluff)  Many companies are still tying up workstations to run calculations, but they could see dramatic improvements and efficiencies with a Windows HPC cluster. Typical Linux clusters are not the only solution for HPC applications anymore. You can view the full article here.

Biomedical Researchers Gain Faster Insights; Cut Research Costs in Half, Saving $5 Million

Scripps Research Institute, The

Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute processed test results manually, inhibiting the pace of work and limiting the time to think creatively about their work. To boost productivity, they adopted a custom high-performance computing (HPC) solution based on Windows® HPC Server 2008. Now, test results are processed 600 percent faster; researchers analyze their work more thoroughly and identify more productive research directions. continued..

CAE High Performance Computing SeminarThis free one-day seminar is for CAE/CFD application users. The seminar will provide information on benchmarking and scaleout of STAR-CCM+ and Abaqus CAE on the new HP Intel architecture platforms. Learn how to enhance your efficiency and productivity, reduce costs and improve your time to market. Solve your CAE problems faster with high performance computing.

Keynotes and presentations will include:

SC08 was incredible! This year’s show had over 10,000 attendees with companies and laboratories covering the globe. As Tony Burrous and I moved about the main exhibition hall, It was very easy to get engulfed in the many displays, lectures, and technical overviews of the show. However, some highlights included a gathering of 400 or so devoted Beowulf followers at Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar, an actual Formula One race car, and a multitude of 3D airplane simulations, 3D glasses included.

The show had a resounding theme that HPC is moving into the main stream. Some companies that stick out in this arena are ScaleMP and Interactive SuperComputing. Both companies are leveraging the ability to simplify solutions to gain greater compute ability. ScaleMP has a technology that will make multiple servers act as one SMP computer, thereby maximizing application scalability without having to learn parallel coding. In addition, Interactive SuperComputing’s software Star-P will automatically parallelize Matlab and Python opportunities with a simple file extension. Both companies highlight the push of HPC into the smaller and medium size businesses that don’t have the expertise or budget to learn how to parallelize their applications.

We were also lucky enough to speak to many great people including David Flynn, CTO of the stealth Fusion-IO. This company has a very impressive backing and board, and some even more impressive companies testing out their state of the art Static State Disks (SSD).

Two of the clear winners of the week, were Microsoft and HP with impressive booths sharing partner experiences to leverage complete deliverable solutions. Last week was a geeks dream and a small or medium businesses opportunity to learn how to continue to compete in the ever challenging economy of today.

Abstract:

Windows HPC Server 2008 is based on the Windows Server 2008 operating system and is designed to increase productivity, scalability and manageability. Windows HPC Server 2008 includes key features, such as high-speed networking, highly efficient and scalable cluster management tools, advanced failover capabilities, a service-oriented architecture (SOA) job scheduler, and support for partners’ clustered file systems. This event is designed for a brief presentation and open question and answer sessions.
