With the new Top500 supercomputers list released Nov. 14, Cluster Resources, Inc. announced today Moab has been selected to run on 50 percent of the top ten systems and now more than 48 percent of the top 100 systems’ total CPU count. Leading sites that have selected Moab include the numbers 1,2,4,6 and 10 systems. Cluster Resources has experienced consistent year-over-year growth in Top500 adoption over the previous five years. "We are pleased to see that a growing number of the top supercomputing organizations in the world are using Moab as their resource and workload management solution," said Dave Jackson, CTO of Cluster Resources. "Moab's high scalability, along with its ease of management and ability for automation, enables these sites to squeeze more power out of their hardware." In August, Moab's presence on the top supercomputing systems increased when the US Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Advanced Simulation and Computing Program selected Moab as the standard for use across NNSA's high-performance computing systems. These systems at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories make up a large portion of the most powerful systems on the Top500 list. "Whether your system is 80,000 processors or two processors, Moab acts as a flexible policy engine that guarantees service levels and speeds job processing." Jackson said. "Moab can simplify and unify management across heterogeneous environments enabling these sites to better utilize their resources and accomplish more work in less time, thus increasing their cluster and grid ROI." Cluster Resources provides free supported trial evaluations of Moab so sites can see for themselves the results of Moab as their workload management solution. Sites that have multiple clusters can also evaluate Moab Grid Suite to connect their clusters together in a holistic environment and view the benefits of a grid while maintaining cluster autonomy.
