Quest-Logix offers virtual High Performance Computing on Demand

Sept. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- vHPC stands for "Virtual High Performance Computing" via the web. The Quest-Logix vHPC Center has thousands of cores available for organizations to use on demand. vHPC segments have the specialized features needed to run hyper scale applications, while providing flexibility with open standards.

The vHPC architecture and supporting systems are provisioned as secure private clouds, utilizing encrypted, secure client access methods to private IP allocations and isolated from the public Internet. The infrastructure is not shared, as each client receives isolated segments of the vHPC infrastructure.

vHPC is Quest-Logix's methodology offering low cost High Performance Computing via private cloud services to organizations on demand, without complicated processes or expense. They provide Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) through their vHPC secure Data Center. vHPC allows organizations to expand their computing capacity on demand without having to invest in more compute infrastructure, power or data center space. They can use it when they need it and never have to worry about running out of compute capacity again. And, all solutions that are Linux or Windows based are supported by vHPC.

These vHPC systems are high density hyper-scalable systems. Each vHPC segment is built with the latest in high performance computing technology utilizing Intel® based processors and Intel's Quick Path Technology for unmatched performance . The previous generation of processors used slower, parallel front-side-bus architectures. Intel QuickPath Technology accelerates the flow of data by introducing multiple pairs of high-speed serial links. By grouping several paths together with intelligent management, Intel® QuickPath Technology can deliver up to 25.6 GB/s between components and maintain communications even when a link fails.

The vHPC systems can support even the most complex applications as the architecture is specifically designed for High Performance Computing, WEB 2.0 and cloud builders. The vHPC architecture is based on compute blocks where each block has 32 to 48 cores. The compute blocks build the vHPC segments allowing hyper scalability and very high efficiency. The vHPC segments are green compliant as the density of cores significantly reduces the footprint per segment, and the new power efficient processors reduce power consumption.
