Accelerating HPC Applications with Panasas’ ASCA Intelligent Data Placement Architecture

March 23, 2020
Organizations need to periodically rethink their high-performance storage strategies due to changing requirements for high-performance computing (HPC).

In the past, a lab or corporation might run a limited set of HPC applications. So a system and its storage could be optimized for a narrow set of workloads. Today, HPC workloads in most organizations are highly variable. One group might need to train a machine learning model, another might run very granular finite element simulation models, and yet another might require the lookup and high-speed search of a massive genomics database… Learn More

Solving the storage conundrum to accelerate life science innovation

March 2020
An inability to process large and complex datasets is hindering innovation in life sciences, but change is on the horizon as the sector increasingly makes use of HighPerformance Computing (HPC) technology in a more productive way. The biggest driver towards HPC is the progressively large data sets that researchers are working with that have grown almost exponentially over the last few decades… Learn More

AI is Driving Storage Down New Avenues

January 27, 2020
Storage systems are inherently data intensive. But the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence as a standard datacenter workload has storage vendors scrambling to design platforms that better meet the more stringent performance needs of these applications.

Panasas, one of the few HPC storage specialist that hasn’t been swallowed by a larger IT company, knows a thing or two about how to design for performance. After all, it’s been churning out HPC storage appliances since 1999. But AI and similarly data-intensive codes have thrust the issue of I/O latency to the forefront. Minimizing latency ensures that the system’s most expensive componentry, namely CPUs and GPUs, are kept busy and not sitting idle waiting for data to arrive… Learn More
