Review on Advanced HPC, Inc by Michael Clarke

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Using Xeon Phi Coprocessor for Scientific Computing

The ability to have a private cloud solution with a large footprint. We could not have done this without the support of Advanced HPC. The system was robust and the support team was very responsive. I would have liked to have had a more open architecture. I would like to be able to build applications that could be used by other customers. I would also like to be able to use the system with the same level of support as others. It would be nice to have a single interface to all of our HPC applications. We are solving some very large scale problems that require large amounts of compute power. We have been able to do this with a private cloud solution.

  • Open platform allows for flexibility in deployment options
  • Easy configuration through command line or UI tools/dashboards
Cons
  • No easy way (i)for new users at their home institution who want free access but no control over data stored there
  • For an individual user wanting full admin rights
