ScaleMP’s vSMP Foundation virtualization-aggregation solution significantly improves research capabilities and lowers costs for Coventry University
3 PagesObjective: Coventry University was required to upgrade its High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure in order to keep up with the increased demand from its faculty and students. Their cutting edge research in the Automotive Engineering Applied Research Group required more com- puting power. The goal was to minimize capital expenditure outlays, while maximizing research capabilities with a system that was easy to manage for the researchers and would not require an experienced IT operations group. Approach: Coventry University compared benchmark performance of different architectures and technology alternatives (using their own workloads and STAR-CD ** User Subroutines). This evalu- ation led them to select ScaleMP’s vSMP Foundation software, combined with x86 based blade-se
