ASPEED's
ACCELLERANT software offers the industry's only truly
application-based solution that enables HPC
applications to be easily adapted to exploit the
benefits of multi-CPU, cluster and grid
solutions and then dynamically adjust the
workload in real-time ensuring ongoing optimum
performance.
ACCELLERANT
preserves your current application investments and
ensures ongoing optimum run and response times and scalability.
Using
ACCELLERANT organizations can quickly enable computationally
intensive HPC applications that are currently single-CPU bound or
SMP-based to quickly leverage Linux and .NET clusters and grids.
ACCELLERANT is fully compatible with your cluster or grid fabric. It
also ensures a quick-start while you are making your cluster or grid
decisions since it enables your application to be distributed among
interconnected systems until the cluster or grid
fabric is in place. Organizations using
ACCELLERANT have also seen significant run
time reductions of their single thread
applications in multi-CPU and multi-core
systems.
ACCELLERANT SDK
The
ACCELLERANT SDK and best
practices enables you to quickly adapt
your existing applications to be
parallelized without altering any of the
functional logic of the application.
Alternatively the SDK can be used to
parallelize the execution of existing binary
code. Once compiled and linked or just
linked the ACCELLERATED application is ready
to be run using the ACCELLERANT Run-time
libraries.
ACCELLERANT
Run-Time
Libraries
The run-time
libraries and application embedded adapters
are invoked when the ACCELLERATED
application is run and the specified number
of instances applied. The run-time
ACCELLERANT services transparently
include dynamic real-time workload
balancing, stall/fault detection and
transparent dynamic recovery,
serialization/unserialization, and
intelligent compression all designed to
ensure optimum run times.
ACCELLERANT AppMgr
In order to ensure iterative applications
are run cohesively ASPEED offers
the
ACCELLERANT AppManager.
The AppManager dynamically
manages an application set of scripts
submitted via command line interface. It is
applied to for rapidly parallelizing
applications by running coarse grain
iterations in parallel. No application
changes are required for this
implementation.
ACCELLERANT WB
(Workload Balancer)
•ASPEED
alos offers a Workload balancer that is
ideal for managing the effective utilization
of a dedicated cluster. The ACCELLERANT WB
manages the invocation placement of workload
to ensure that specific nodes are not
overloaded while others sit idle. This
component can be used independent of or
as part of the infrastructure. For example
it can intefrace with infrastructure
schedulers such as Tivoli's Workload
Scheduler (Maestro).
