OpenFOAM, OpenRadioss, Tensorflow and Pytorch among some of the applications that CIQ engineers have validated and provided to customers on Fuzzball.
RENO, Nev., June 23, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CIQ, the founding support and services provider of Rocky Linux, today announced the completion of testing for several popular application stacks with its recently released next-generation HPC platform, Fuzzball. Fuzzball is a turnkey, hybrid computing infrastructure stack that creates a lower barrier to entry and increased security, supply chain confidence and scale for everything from traditional HPC to compute and data-driven enterprise computing.
To show how users can deploy Fuzzball within their organizations, CIQ engineers tested a number of popular open source applications and workflows:
- OpenFOAM — An end-to-end pipeline of the simulation of the well-known motorbike sample workload and visualization of the results using ParaView
- OpenRadioss — Full end-to-end simulations of numerous workloads provided by the OpenRadioss community and visualization of the results using ParaView
- Tensorflow and Pytorch — Built and executed workloads using these machine learning frameworks demonstrating the ability of Fuzzball to combine workloads across the HPC/AI space
- Quantum Espresso, gromacs, LAMMPS — Popular and widely used codes in research computing
"Simulations are usually multi-application, multi-iteration jobs now," said Brock Taylor, vice president of high performance computing and strategic partners. "It's a lot of effort and complexity that can burden users who don't understand the intricacies of HPC solutions. Fuzzball simplifies how simulation users interact with their compute resources. It allows them to knit together workflows and define their data movement. Fuzzball automates application execution, data movement and all the low-level specifics so that scientists and researchers can focus on their work."
Fuzzball was launched in May. Fuzzball unites the rapidly converging use cases in performance-intensive computing by providing a single platform that deftly combines the best of both worlds into an entirely new computing paradigm that CIQ calls "HPC 2.0." The software offers a turnkey, Kubernetes-based, hybrid computing infrastructure stack that empowers users with more control, administrators with more reach, and organizations with more productivity.
