In line with the data and dashboard changes in Mistral 2023.1, we extended the set of Mistral indexes for Elastic search to make it easier for data life cycle management. The elastic search plugin used to put all data into Elastic Search under one index, but since Mistral 2023.1, the Mistral Elasticsearch Plugin uses five…
Manjunath Doddam, Altair HPCWorks Senior Technical Specialist, has put together a great white paper that highlights the advantages of the Altair HPCWorks platform over OSS options. Thank you, Manju! The Altair® HPCWorks™ high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud platform offers a solution that’s superior to open-source…
This release brings many improvements to Mistral data, increasing the amount of information while dramatically decreasing the amount of data written to the database. * Mistral will output JSON instead of CSV. This format is much more efficient so we have more info for less data, so the main effect customers will see is…
You can be doing everything right — managing your HPC environment like a pro, orchestrating complex workloads, analysing performance and utilisation to get actionable results — but you can still get bogged down by the hidden bottlenecks that result from bad I/O patterns. Maybe you tested a workflow on one or two nodes,…
It’s easy for the complexity of High-Performance Computing to cloud the real purpose of the workload. Across HPC, but especially in life sciences, accelerating the time to science really saves lives. At Altair, our tools and processes are not just for improving the return on investment. Our products aim to give you more…
In high-performance computing (HPC), no two environments are the same due to the wide range of applications run at each centre. Workload managers like Altair® Grid Engine® have sophisticated options to ensure that compute resources are shared effectively that are flexible enough to cope with a wide range of different needs…
We have released a patch of Breeze and Mistral version 2022.2.1 The most important change is a reduction in stack usage in Breeze. This only affects customers who are profiling applications with reduced stack sizes that access files with very long paths. There is also a fix in the sample Mistral Grafana dashboards for one…
Mistral 2022.2.0 has been released. This new version include the GA release of the new back end to Mistral, previous only available as a beta feature. This new back end includes significant performance improvement. Customers upgrading to this version of Mistral should use the templates supplied and should copy in their…
The adoption of high-performance computing (HPC) and public cloud is increasing alongside the overlapping areas of artificial intelligence (AI). We talk about the convergence of HPC, simulation, and data analytics, placing machine learning (ML) at the center of that as a key part – how these areas can come closer together…
An AWS customer wanted to scale their machine learning (ML) workload to hundreds of thousands of machine instances. Their goal was to download large images, including people and cars, from S3 to EBS storage to process for training a self-driving car. Optimizing and scaling storage usage was key, but a bottleneck was…
