SGI-Altair partnership expanded
2012-04-19SGI has announced an expansion of its long-term partnership with Altair Engineering, SGI is collaborating with Altair to develop scheduling and systems management solutions to support energy efficient computing at exascale levels. As part of the expanded relationship, SGI has entered into an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with Altair that names Altair as its preferred workload management supplier and makes it possible for SGI to integrate Altair's PBS Professional scheduler on SGI HPC systems.
Christian Tanasescu, VP, software product engineering, SGI said, "Exascale is forcing a redefinition of the way customers approach computing and systems management. Companies won't be able to simply apply or extrapolate the work done at petascale levels to maintain performance once they move to the exascale range, and this agreement allows us to tailor solutions for our customers that allow them to scale their workloads efficiently and cost-effectively."
Bill Nitzberg, Chief Technology Officer, PBS Works, Altair said, "SGI and Altair are committed to delivering energy-efficient and affordable computing resources to the high-performance computing community. With this project, we have taken a lead role in providing the enabling capabilities for power management in the age of exascale computing."
