Combined portfolios power HPC and AI solutions of any size, for
every environment; on premises, in the cloud or as-a-Service
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today announced it will deliver
the industry’s most comprehensive high-performance computing (HPC)
and Artificial Intelligence (AI) portfolio for the exascale era,
which is characterized by explosive data growth and new converged
workloads such as HPC, AI, and analytics.
The addition of Cray, Inc., which HPE recently acquired,
bolsters HPE’s HPC and AI solutions to now encompass an end-to-end
supercomputing architecture across compute, interconnect, software,
storage and services, delivered on premises, hybrid or
as-a-Service. Now every enterprise can leverage the same
foundational HPC technologies that power the world’s fastest
systems, and integrate them into their data centers to unlock
insights and fuel new discovery.
Digital transformation is driving new data-intensive workloads
and real-time analytics operating at an unprecedented scale. New
software, compute, interconnect, and storage capabilities are
required for customers to unlock the potential of their data and
accelerate innovation. HPE delivers solutions for any experience
from single, small systems all the way to exascale-class
supercomputers with tailored software, interconnect and storage
capabilities. This includes solutions for modeling and simulation
in weather forecasting, manufacturing and energy sectors, and AI
and big data analytics in precision medicine, autonomous vehicles,
geospatial imaging and financial services.
“The combination of HPE and Cray will redefine the
supercomputing industry by delivering solutions and services that
enable customers to thrive in the Exascale Era, helping them
achieve significant breakthroughs and advances in business and
society,” said Peter Ungaro, senior vice president and general
manager, HPC and AI, at HPE. “Customers increasingly turn to HPE as
trusted, global partner that can help them harness the full power
of data to address their most pressing challenges. Through the
combination of HPE and Cray offerings, we now give customers more
choice and control in how they apply HPC, to span any size and
scale, running in any environment, from on premises to the
cloud.”
HPE’s latest HPC and AI end-to-end portfolio is comprised of the
following services, software, compute, interconnect and storage
capabilities:
Making HPC and AI accessible as-a-Service
- As previously announced, Cray and Microsoft have collaborated
to allow access to HPC technology and systems for Cray in Microsoft
Azure offerings. HPE plans to expand customer choice for customers
by providing its HPC and AI solutions through HPE GreenLake, a
market-leading as-a-Service offering from HPE.
Purpose-built software to manage all types of data
- HPC and AI systems run like a cloud – Cray System
Management Software, built on a container-based, multi-tenant
architecture, enables converged HPC and AI workloads to run
simultaneously on a single system, providing administrators and
developers with a modern, cloud experience.
- Simplifying and optimizing workloads – HPE is
simplifying application development and management across complex
HPC and AI workloads that consist of diverse processors and
accelerators with the Cray Programming Environment (CPE). CPE
provides a complete and fully supported developer environment and
integrated software suite, offering compilers and programming
languages, tools and libraries, that maximizes programmer
productivity, application scalability and performance. It is
designed to allow easy porting of existing applications with
minimal recoding, while minimizing changes to existing programming
models and simplifying developer transition to new hardware
paradigm.
- Extended support for HPE Performance Cluster Management:
The HPE Performance Cluster Management (HPCM) software provides
complete provisioning, management, and monitoring for clusters
scaling to 100,000 nodes. The software enables fast system setup
from bare-metal, comprehensive hardware monitoring and management,
image management, software updates and power management. As part of
the new portfolio, future planned releases of HPCM will expand
system support to include new Cray systems. This new support will
enable customers with a breadth of new system choices while
maintaining their existing HPCM management environment.
Compute optimized for any environment, any size
- HPE is extending its leadership in enterprise-grade computing
with the HPE family of Apollo systems by adding Cray Supercomputers
to its portfolio. This new combined compute portfolio will bring
customers a new level of choice for a range of workloads, and
delivered at any scale. Starting at a single server and expanding
to the largest supercomputers, the combined portfolio can
comprehensively address the supercomputing needs of any data
center. The new Cray systems will be based on the Shasta
architecture, which will be used to deliver the first three U.S.
exascale systems.
Redefined high performance interconnect for growing data
traffic
- HPE is offering Cray Slingshot, a redefined HPC interconnect,
to address demands for higher speed and lower latency to process
the explosion of new data and convergence of HPC and AI workloads.
Slingshot starts with 200 gbps throughput and adds unique
congestion control capabilities to deliver the performance and
scale required to drive numerous data-intensive workflows
simultaneously on a single system.
Faster, intelligent storage for modern HPC
- High performance storage: The recent introduction of
Cray ClusterStor E1000, a storage solution and a new type of
solution for HPE’s HPC portfolio, supports ongoing data growth and
converged workloads. ClusterStor meets storage requirements while
significantly reducing the need for additional storage drives
through its intelligent new data management software.
Efficient high touch service for tailored experiences
- HPE delivers a personalized experience with HPE Pointnext
services, a consulting and technical services offering that
provides collaborative efforts to advise, design and accelerate
deployment of any digital experience or roadmap to meet an
organization’s goals. HPE is further bolstering these offerings
with Cray’s services, which include support features such as
installation, troubleshooting, system maintenance, system
administration, and system optimization.
HPE will showcase several solutions at the annual Supercomputing
Conference 2019 (SC 19) in Denver, Colorado, such as the new HPE
ProLiant DL385 and DL325 Gen10 Plus servers, based on 2nd Gen AMD
EPYC™ processors which significantly enhance performance and
efficiency for vital workloads like HPC, and an AI Ops solution as
part of an R&D collaboration with the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL) to improve energy efficiency, sustainability and
resiliency in supercomputing data centers.
