HPC Advisory Council Publishes Guidelines for HPC and Cloud Applications

By DE Editors

The HPC Advisory Council, a worldwide organization for high-performance computing research, development, outreach and education, has published more than 50 Best Practices for a multitude of high-performance applications. The Council provides best practices which have shown to improve clustering and applications efficiency, scalability and productivity.  

“The Council’s best practices results in faster simulations, quicker time-to-market for consumer-based products, ease-of-use for IT staff when setting up and maintaining clusters, and getting the maximum return on their infrastructure investment,” says Gilad Shainer, chairman of the HPC Advisory Council. “In just over two years, the Council has become a valuable resource for IT end-users who require open source or commercial HPC and cloud-based application performance guidelines and best practices for some of their most important networking and infrastructure purchasing decisions.” 

With more than 50 best practices developed for more than 26 HPC and cloud-based applications, the HPC Advisory Council is providing the HPC end-user community information that can help improve their system and application usage.
