Our customers are continually challenged to be creative while operating within time-proven design cycles. They may be producing a new molecule, a combustion chamber, an animated movie or the analysis of an oil reservoir. They are asked to bring their products to market faster as the competitive pressures facing technology companies increase. To meet those demands, technical teams seek to bring more analytical power to bear earlier in the process. Emphasis varies from finding a faster, cheaper way to produce an existing product to creating something that does not yet exist. Best practices prove the critical value of analysis and simulation - the earlier in the design process you make the necessary changes, the lower the cost of change.
Common uses are traditional HPC applications such as complex simulations, bioinformatics, financial analytics, seismic analysis and reservoir modeling, financial market modeling, computational fluid dynamics and high fidelity finite element modeling. Learn how customers in different industries have worked with Penguin to accelerate their research and development.
Molecular and cellular biologists, geneticists, chemists, and biochemists are using high performance computers to evaluate huge amounts of data using analysis programs, modeling tools, databases, and visualization software. Penguin Computing provides turnkey clusters, robust, scalable servers, high quality workstations, peripherals and professional services for the full range of life science industries: pharmaceutical, biotech, agribusiness, medicine, nanotechnology and cosmetics.
Rocket scientists who work in the defense and aerospace industries, the power users of the HPC community, need to fill the computational gap between multi-processor workstations and rented time at SMP supercomputer centers. Using departmental Penguin Linux clusters managed with Scyld ClusterWare software results in tremendous cost and operational savings.
The automobile industry is facing unprecedented global competition, changing consumer style trends, and regulatory demands to meet higher fuel efficiency standards. The competing forces of more design cycles earlier in the process combined with a need to reduce operating overhead makes a move to Penguin HPC Linux clusters a natural.
Seismic data interpretation in the oil and gas industry requires incredibly complex calculations, especially now that the fourth dimension, time lapse, is being added to the mix. Even as geologic prediction gets more complex, however, ever more powerful HPC Linux clusters from Penguin Computing can simplify multi-attribute analysis and shorten the company's cycle of doing business.
Now that HPC technology has evolved to the point where departmental scale clusters can be obtained for a reasonable cost, you can't afford to choose any other option. Commodity hardware provides the most compute capacity for the budget. Government lab research teams can use Penguin HPC Linux clusters to perform their routine calculations while SMP supercomputer time can be reserved for larger simulations that required substantial system support.
Professors, researchers, and graduate students were among the first to use Beowulf clusters to study theoretical as well as applied problems in physics, mathematics, and other technical disciplines. Penguin Computing makes it cost-effective and practical to use high performance clusters in higher education. We also provide highly reliable servers and management tools for university-scale datacenters.
