Adaptive Computing has joined the National Center for Supercomputing Application’s (NCSA) private sector program.

NCSA is based at the University of Illinois in the US and its private sector program provides High Performance Computing research support for industry.

NCSA’s computing resources, including the iForge system that was designed specifically for industrial use, are a platform for industrial power users to maximize productivity.  Adaptive Computing’s Moab intelligence engine is a big part of this collaboration to further accelerate, automate, and self-optimize IT workloads, resources, and services in large, complex heterogeneous computing environments.  This partnership will also allow Adaptive Computing to advance its HPC workload management products and services.

“NCSA’s Private Sector Partner Program will allow users access to Adaptive Computing’s patented and battle-tested intelligence engine within a real world environment to bench test code that may not have otherwise been so easily accessible,” said Dave Jackson, CTO of Adaptive Computing.  “It is our goal to allow the enterprise to better utilize HPC by collaborating with companies like ours to learn how to transform their standard data center environment into a high performance computing environment.”

NCSA's Private Sector Program helps businesses tap into all HPC benefits and to a wealth of knowledge within the community.

Merle Giles, leader of NCSA’s Private Sector Program, said: “We think these partnerships will help develop an important three-way dialogue among software developers, industrial end users, and large HPC providers like NCSA.”
