To simplify and accelerate the configuration, deployment and management of clusters for HPC, HPE is introducing a highly flexible and comprehensive software-defined platform for HPC using the new HPE Core HPC Software Stack with HPE Insight Cluster Management Utility v8.0.

Designed to meet the needs of server cluster environments that may need to scale to thousands of compute nodes, the HPE Core HPC Software Stack is a pre-integrated, pre-tested single software suite that combines open source-based application development tools, libraries, and compilers with HPE cluster management capabilities including HPE iLO and simple cluster set up tools. This suite enables developers, IT administrators, engineers and researchers to easily develop, test, deploy and manage their HPC environments.

Complementing the new HPE Core HPC software suite to accelerate the performance of customers’ HPC workloads and reduce the complexity of their infrastructure, HPE is introducing systems innovations that build on the latest technologies from the HPE Apollo technology partner ecosystem. These new system capabilities are designed to be managed by the HPE Core HPC Software Stack.

HPE is further enhancing the software defined Apollo HPC platform by introducing systems design innovations for the Apollo 6000 system with new HPE ProLiant XL260a server trays based on the next generation of the Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor family and the Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (Intel® OPA) to reduce latency, and increase bandwidth and performance. HPE is also enhancing the Apollo 2000 system and ProLiant DL server platforms with Intel® OPA fabric options. By combining these latest advancements in Intel® Scalable System Framework with the scalability, flexibility and manageability of the HPE Apollo portfolio, customers will gain new levels of efficiency and reliability. In addition, customers will be able to run HPC applications in a massively parallel manner with minimal code modification.

To provide customers with additional choice and flexibility, HPE is also enhancing HPE Apollo 6000 and HPE Apollo 2000 systems with next-generation EDR 100Gb/s InfiniBand solutions from Mellanox® Technologies. Ideal for HPC clusters that require low latency and high bandwidth networking, Mellanox® EDR fabric technology provides customers the network performance needed to improve response times and alleviate bottlenecks that impact application performance.

To help customers scale their compute power to better accommodate the escalating demands of increasingly complex simulation models, HPE is introducing the new HPE ANSYS solution for CAE for the manufacturing industry.

The HPE ANSYS solution for CAE is uniquely designed to handle large data sets and address the design prototyping needs of both large enterprises and mid-market customers. Pre-tested on the HPE Apollo 2000, this solution delivers improved application performance and faster resource provisioning.
