Scyld ClusterWare™ HPC provides enterprises and organizations with a productive, simple and hardware agnostic HPC system enabling administrators to install, monitor and manage the cluster as a single system, from a single node - the Master. Through the Master, thousands of systems can be managed as if they were a single, consistent, virtual system, dramatically simplifying deployment and management and significantly improving data center resource utilization and server performance.

Scyld ClusterWare employs a unique architecture based on three principles that, combined, deliver unparalleled productivity and lower TCO.

The operating environment deployed to the compute nodes is provisioned "stateless", directly to memory.
The compute node operating environment is lightweight, stripped of unnecessary software, overhead and vulnerabilities.
A simple operating system extension virtualizes the cluster into a pool of processors operating as if it were a single virtual machine.

The result is a highly efficient, more reliable and scalable system, capable of processing more work in less time, while being vastly simpler to use and maintain.

Your Host for the Webinar is Don Becker, CTO, Penguin Computing:

Donald joined Penguin through its acquisition of Scyld Computing. Donald is an internationally recognized operating system developer and the original inventor of Beowulf clustering. In 1999 he founded Scyld Computing and led the development of the next-generation Beowulf cluster operating system. Prior to founding Scyld, Donald started the Beowulf Parallel Workstation project at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. He is the co-author of How to Build a Beowulf: A Guide to the Implementation and Application of PC Clusters. With colleagues from the California Institute of Technology and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, he was the recipient of the IEEE Computer Society 1997 Gordon Bell Prize for Price/Performance. Donald holds a B.S. degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
