2 HPC Overview SUSE High Performance Computing Solving computational, data-intensive, or numerically-intensive tasks Reducing the time and effort required to set-up and maintain HPC clusters Ensuring that all components of the HPC stack work together 2

3 SUSE Strong in HPC Market! SUSE HPC MULTI- and MANY-CORE PROCESSOR SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY Kernel 3.x Lustre File System Ceph storage platform Highly scalable - up to 4096 cores.. Intel, AMD, POWER.. SUSE Since 1992 Strong Presence in Top500 COOPERATION IBM SGI HP Dell.. Bull NEC Cray Cisco.. HIGH PRODUCTIVITY COMPUTING Total Baker Hughes Texas Instruments.. ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH LRZ / SuperMUC BSC / MareNostrum Tokyo Institute of Technology Beijing Computing Center NASA.. 3

4 Why SUSE Linux Enterprise Server For High Performance Computing Early player in HPC, pushing innovation and new technologies Highly reliable, interoperable and manageable server operating system Built to power mission-critical workloads in physical, virtual and cloud environments The natural successor to UNIX, backed by proven services for UNIX migration Special features to improve performance Backed by established ecosystem support and certificates The only Linux recommended by Microsoft 4

5 SUSE Additional Features SUSE High Performance Computing Up-to-date 3.0 Linux Kernel for optimal performance CPU Management and System Activity CPUset System, CPUset command line tool Sysstat package IRQbalance OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) switched fabric technologies, high-speed data transport technologies for server and storage connectivity SystemTap, LTTng 2.0 Packaged Lustre 5

6 Recent Enhancements SUSE High Performance Computing Storage Support for btrfs Improved support for iscsi and FCoE Major filesystem performance increases Management Faster, more powerful control groups for resource isolation Improved power management Kernel Newest processors and chipsets Better idle-load balancing Transparent huge pages Improved scaling of incoming network traffic Network Higher network throughput Added tunables in the IP stack (for lower latency) 6
