Cray Inc. and Altair have entered an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) agreement. This collaboration expands this professional relationship and places PBS Professional as Cray’s preferred workload manager.

“Our customers will benefit from this relationship as we will be able to more easily and cost-effectively deliver unique, integrated technologies, such as DataWarp I/O acceleration and application power management,” said Barry Bolding, vice president of marketing and business development at Cray. “Altair and PBS Professional are established leaders in HPC workload management, and we look forward to leveraging this agreement for growth in commercial and other emerging market segments.
