Article title: Penguin launches Linux-based high-performance cloud computing HPC. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Penguin, a company that provides high-performance computing resources for researchers, scientists, and engineers, including desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source, began to provide services in the cloud computing field. This week, Penguin On Demand (POD) starts to run. The company explained that this is to provide computing services for those with HPC computing capabilities.
"Today's most popular cloud infrastructure, such as Amazon EC2, cannot effectively provide high-performance parallel computing for research and simulation disciplines ." Charles Wuischpard, chief executive of Penguin, said in a statement. Pods provide high-density and efficient computing for players' requests. Wuischpard adds that pods will bring high-performance computing capabilities into "a broader market ".
HPC combines the processing capabilities of each node in a high-load running state. This capability is generally used to quickly process large amounts of data, such as scientific research, engineering, and financial projects.
Penguin uses Xeon-based high-density computer nodes and high-speed storage warehouses. According to the company, it allows customers to obtain all the resources and immediately process them with the highest performance. In contrast, the virtualization method will use the cloud computing system to the maximum extent.
