Artificial intelligence is rewiring the high-performance computing space, with HPC cluster management getting a usability overhaul as organizations demand simpler operations that don\u2019t come at the cost of capacity.<\/p>\n

Teams want the flexibility of open source<\/a>, the convenience of a graphical user interface and the assurance that core services \u2014 provisioning, scheduling, monitoring and storage \u2014 work together out of the box.\u00a0Those streams form the philosophy behind ClusterVision Solutions BV\u2019s TrinityX, integrating proven open-source components and adding in-house tooling so that admins can manage modern HPC and AI workloads with less friction and lock-in, according to\u00a0Fabian Nowee<\/a> (pictured, right), EMEA strategic account manager at ClusterVision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at our philosophy, we are open source,\u201d Nowee told theCUBE. \u201cYou can download it for free and you can try it. You just go to GitHub, download it, play around with it \u2014 you have full functionality and then if you want to have support, of course you can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nowee and Dea Mataic<\/a> (left), HPC\/AI account and channel manager and TrinityX cluster manager at ClusterVision, spoke with theCUBE Research\u2019s Dave Vellante<\/a> and Savannah Peterson<\/a> at SC25<\/a>, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media\u2019s livestreaming studio. They discussed TrinityX\u2019s open-source, streamlined<\/a> approach to HPC cluster management, the important role of storage and real-world use cases spanning healthcare, life sciences and finance.

HPC cluster management, simplified and open-source<\/p>\n

TrinityX aims to drag cluster management into the same era of usability as the applications people use every day, layering a modern graphical interface and automation on top of familiar open-source components. Rather than forcing admins to live in scripts and command lines alone, the company is betting that a better user experience is now as critical to HPC as raw performance, according to Mataic.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything has to be convenient and it has to be easy,\u201d she explained. \u201cIn this HPC world, people are still doing a lot on the command line \u2026 it seems like in that sense we are 50 years back almost.\u201d<\/p>\n

As clusters scale to support graphics processing unit-heavy AI and simulation, the quiet workhorse is storage \u2014 until it fails. Protecting scientific data and speeding I\/O across controller, login, storage and compute\/GPU nodes is foundational to reliability and time-to-results, Nowee noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cStorage is very important,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you look at the research, they usually say \u2018Yeah, it\u2019s not scratched, it\u2019s not important\u2019 \u2014 it\u2019s not important until it\u2019s gone. Then people are screaming, \u2018Oh yeah, didn\u2019t you make a backup?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

While many HPC users still live on the command line, enterprise teams expect intuitive, visual workflows. That\u2019s why TrinityX invests in a GUI experience while keeping the code and ecosystem accessible to community collaboration, Mataic said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that is the challenge that we are trying to overcome: by developing and creating a nice GUI in a way that it becomes very intuitive and very easy to just use it and create the smaller applications, which are open source. Because \u2026 being open source, bringing back to the community, we see that this is the only way forward,\u201d she said. \u201cWe fully committed ourselves to being open source, to our product being open source, because that\u2019s another thing \u2014 it has to be available, it has to be there. If we want to move with technology, we have to give technology to people. We have to build a community around our product and that\u2019s the only way we can solve all these challenges together.\u201d<\/p>\n
