Allinea Software, a provider of tools for high-performance, has partnered with the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) to advance research. The collaboration will also utilize Piz Daint, the most power supercomputer in Europe, the company states.
Piz Daint is a 5,272-node Cray XC30 supercomputer equipped with Intel Sandybridge processors and NVIDIA K20X GPUs (graphics processing units). It has a potential peak performance of 4.8 petaflops.
Allinea and CSCS are working together to test and validate pre-production environments. By doing so, the center can produce software that is more effective and ensures accurate research. Piz Daint is utilized for applications in materials, climate science, chemistry, physics, biology and more.
“With today’s rapidly changing HPC (high-performance computing) environments, collaboration is the key to enabling the rapid deployment of new technology – and then to delivering on the potential of HPC,” said Patrick Wohlschlegel, technical services manager of Allinea Software. “Together CSCS and Allinea are shortening the time it takes for developers to solve bugs on the system.”
