Over the years, the SuperComputing conference has become a focal point for many global supercomputing sites to showcase their capabilities and compete for a placement on the coveted Top500 list. Many powerful supercomputers and new technological advances are showcased during the conference, making it perhaps no surprise that Red Hat is planning to be at SuperComputing17 next week to demonstrate our latest high-performance computing (HPC) solutions (booth #1763).

Red Hat has a packed agenda for the show - here’s more about what you can expect to see from us during SuperComputing17.

We are planning to show several demos focused on topics such as:

  • Proven HPC infrastructure - Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides the foundation for many HPC software stacks and is available across multiple hardware architectures. It is at the core of Red Hat OpenStack Platform and Red Hat Openshift, both of which are part of many HPC environments. Large supercomputing sites like Oak Ridge National Laboratory use Red Hat OpenStack Platform to make their systems more accessible. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat Ansible Automation are also compelling for HPC as they can enable better application portability and system provisioning and automation.
  • Scale-out storage for HPC workloads - Software-defined solutions like Red Hat Gluster Storage and Red Hat Ceph Storage can provide cost-effective alternatives to traditional storage to support the modernization of HPC applications by adopting containers with container native storage and the ability to handle many types of HPC workloads. This week we announced Red Hat Ceph Storage 3. At SuperComputing17, you can learn more about the latest version of our massively scalable software-defined storage solution, including full support of CephFS.

You will also have an opportunity to see the power and flexibility of Red Hat Enterprise Linux across multiple architectures, including Arm v8-A, x86_64 and IBM POWER Little Endian, by way of a virtual reality experience known as the Game of Life.

Don’t miss Red Hat’s chief Arm architect, Jon Masters, who is slated to present on the future of Arm servers in HPC at HPE booth #925 at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, November 14.

And mark your schedule to attend one of the many mini-theater sessions we will be hosting at the Red Hat booth, including presentations by our technology partners, customers and industry experts. We will be raffling a prize at the end of each presentation, so please be sure to stay to the end.
