HPC Cloud: Meet POD (Penguin Computing On Demand)
POD is a true high-performance computing (HPC) cluster in the cloud available for your use. Through dedicated login nodes POD provides a persistent Linux environment that includes a complete HPC software stack and is directly connected to a compute cluster for job execution. PODs compute cluster was designed for HPC and features typical HPC components such as low latency interconnects, GPUs and high-performance parallel file systems. You can run jobs from your login node or through PODTools, an interface for job submission, monitoring and accounting from any system connected to the web. POD is cost-effective, convenient and secure, plus you only pay for the actual computing resources that you use.
"As a 'virtual' company with no central office space, and no facilities for hosting a high-performance computing cluster, POD has enabled us to function with minimal overhead to successfully deliver simulation results for our clients."
