Turn-key Multi-cabinet Linux and Windows HPC Solutions tailored for parallel and distributed computing

Each and every KiloCluster ships fully configured and tested with OS, HPC software tools, and KiloMon management for a truly turn-key solution.

OS Support

KiloCluster™ HPC systems support the latest linux open-source and payware revisions such as CentOS and RHEL. Contact our engineering staff for recommendations and qualification of specific variants of linux that may be required for legacy reasons.

Microsoft's Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 is available as a unique alternative to traditional linux driven cluster computing. Windows CCS is simple to deploy, operate, and manage. It includes MS MPI, a optimized MPICH2, job scheduler, and compiler tools. Windows CCS supports both gigabit ethernet and low-latency Infiniband.

HPC Software

KiloStack™ is a complete linux based HPC suite of tools imaged and optimized for your specific KiloCluster™ HPC system. It is the "glue" of the solution. With KiloStack™, you can compile, schedule jobs, manage user accounts, and manage nodes in parallel.

KiloStack Features:
• MPICH 2 (use of MPICH 1 requires engineering review)
• MVAPICH 2
• TORQUE/Maui or SGE job scheduling
• System Imager
• PDSH / C3 parallel shell tool
• Sync-Nodes(tm) user management sync tool
• GNU compilers
• AMD math kernel libraries

Optional supported Software Tools for Maximum Performance:
• Cluster Resources MOAB Cluster Suite
• Intel Cluster Toolkit: MPI, Trace Analyzer, math kernel libraries
• Intel Compiler Professional Edition
• Pathscale EKOpath Compiler Suite (AMD platforms)
• PGI Compilers
• ScaliMPI optimized MPI libraries

Cluster Monitoring

KiloMon™ is a web-based cluster monitoring tool that provides the administrator with a aerial view plus individual node level status of the KiloCluster™. Utilizing a industry standard IPMI interface, KiloMon™ monitors CPU temp, system temp, and fan speeds of each individual system in a easy to read graphical interface. KiloMon™ also allows the administrator to remotely power cycle a distressed node with the click of a on-screen button.

Additional Local and Remote Monitoring Options:
• Out-of-Band Serial Console access via IP
• KVM and KVM-over-IP
• 1U rackmount slide out LCD display with keyboard and mouse
