Adaptive Computing Enterprises Inc. announced that it will work with Cray Inc. to manage computing workloads for the North-German Supercomputing Alliance (HLRN). Using its Moab HPC Suite, Adaptive Computing is managing HLRN's computing workload on a distributed Cray XC30 supercomputing system of more than 6,500 network sockets, with nearly 1,000 more sockets expected to be added. Two HLRN sites -- the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) and the High Performance Computing Center (RRZN) at Leibniz University in Hannover, Germany -- are leveraging Adaptive Computing's technology to support their advanced scientific research in a variety of fields, including bio-informatics, chemistry, climate and ocean modeling, engineering, environmental research, fluid dynamics and physics.

The HPC suite is powered by Moab, Adaptive Computing's intelligent workload management software, which optimizes scheduling and management across workloads and resources based on policies. Accelerating results delivery and maximizing utilization, the Moab HPC Suite simplifies workload management across complex, heterogeneous cluster HPC environments. It leverages the multidimensional policies in Moab to continually schedule and monitor workloads, resources, SLAs and priorities to optimize workload output.
