OverviewPlatorm HPC is the industry’s easiest and most complete
HPC management product. Its robust cluster and workload
management capabilities are accessible using the latest
design in web-based interaces – making it powerul, yet easy
to use. The application integration process is simplifed, so
that you can ocus on your work, instead o managing your
cluster.
Other HPC cluster solutions just combine multiple tools
and interaces, which are not integrated, certifed, or tested
together. Platorm HPC is a single product with a unifed
set o management capabilities that make it easy or you
to harness the power and scalability o your HPC cluster,
resulting in shorter time to system readiness and user
productivity as well as optimal throughput. Backed by the
industry’s best customer support, Platorm HPC incorporate
nearly two decades o product and technology leadership.
Most Complete HPC Management ProduEasy to use web-based interace
Platorm HPC includes a single, unifed web-based interacewith advanced capabilities that make it easy to manage all
aspects o your cluster. The intuitive interace provides a
robust set o management dashboards and reports that ma
it easy to monitor resource perormance as well as alerts to
ensure that you HPC inrastructure is optimally utilized.
Simplifed cluster deployment and management
Using Platorm HPC you can quickly provision and manage
HPC clusters with unprecedented ease. It ensures maximum
uptime and can transparently synchronize fles to cluster
nodes without any downtime or re-installation. In order toensure compatibility with diverse compute environments, yo
have the option to use Platorm HPC or third-party sotware
provision and manage your cluster.
Robust workload management
Platorm HPC includes a robust workload scheduling engine
which is based on Platorm LSF — the industry’s most
powerul, comprehensive, policy driven workload managem
solution or engineering and scientifc distributed computin
environments. By scheduling workloads intelligently accord
to policy, Platorm HPC improves end user productivity withminimal system administrative eort. In addition, it allows
HPC user teams to easily access and share all computing
resources, while reducing time between simulation iteration
Fully certifed and supported by Platorm Computi
Platorm HPC provides you with the easiest and most robus
HPC management capabilities while reducing your overall
cluster cost with ull support and certifcation rom Platorm
Computing, the world leader in HPC management solutions

Comprehensive monitoring and reporting
Platorm HPC includes an operational dashboard that provides
comprehensive administrative reports. It enables you to make
timely decisions and correlate workload inormation with
system load you can easily identiy and troubleshoot issues
with your cluster jobs. When it’s time or capacity planning,
you can run detailed reports and analyses which quantiy user
needs and remove the guess work rom capacity expansion.
Platorm HPC provides the capability to customize the metrics
youmonitor,includingintegratingwith3rdpartymanagement
sotware. This enables you to monitor and alert abnormal
status or non-server devices in the HPC environment.
Dynamic OS multiboot
Platorm HPC supports image-based installs, allowing
cluster nodes to be rapidly “cloned” while also providing
support or diskless nodes. Because o this, Platorm HPC
can deploy multiple operating system versions concurrently
on the same resource and, based on job resource
requirements, dynamically boot the Linux or Windows
operating system required to run the job.

High perorming MPI library
In order to make it easier to get parallel applications upand running, Platorm HPC includes the industry’s most
robustandhighestperformingMPIimplementation,

perormance at application run-time and or application
scaling, resulting in top perormance results across a rang
o third-party benchmarks.
Integrated application support
Platorm HPC enables you to ully harness the power o your
cluster to optimize application perormance. Scripting guideli
and job submission templates or commonly used commercia
applications enable easy application integration and ensure th
users are immediately productive - simpliying job submission
reducing job setup time and minimize operation errors. Once
your applications are up and running, Platorm HPC improves
application perormance by intelligently scheduling resources
based on workload characteristics.
