Altair Launches New Applications for High Performance Computing

By DE Editors

Altair Engineering’s Compute Manager simulation platform for maximizing high-performance computing capabilities,  offered as part of the HyperWorks Enterprise service-oriented architecture, is application-aware and enables users to submit, manage and review workloads on distributed resources in a natural manner.

Users can submit jobs through a Web-based interface, manage workloads,  and immediately review and download the results. Users also can plot curves and create animations without needing to first download the results. Jobs are monitored both graphically and analytically, making results visualization with secured access possible from any Internet-enabled device.

In the coming months, Compute Manager will be integrated with three new sister applications within HyperWorks Enterprise: Simulation Manager,  Performance Manager, and Process Manager. While all of the elements in the HyperWorks Enterprise edition will work in an integrated manner,  they can be used as independent modules as well.

In addition to launching Compute Manager, Altair recently released PBS Professional 11.2, part of the companys on-demand cloud computing technology, which easily to support hundreds of thousands of processors. It also offers an enhanced graphical interface for submitting and managing PBS Professional jobs on the front end.

The new PBS Desktop app is a job submission tool for supporting PBS Professional jobs from the desktop and is free with the purchase of PBS Professional. PBS Desktop allows HPC users to submit jobs for processing by simply dragging and dropping workloads from their local desktop workstations.
