THE BRIGHT BLOG

We couldn’t be happier with the feedback we’ve received since we launched our podcast series last month. This is an excellent way for you to catch the latest High-Performance Computing news, on the move!

Here at Bright, we were delighted to announce, earlier this week, that the University of North Dakota has deployed a host of Bright technology into its supercomputing infrastructure, including Bright Cluster Manager for HPC and Data Science, and Bright OpenStack. 

We are pleased to share the recent podcast between Bright Computing and Dell EMC, listen now on Intersect360’s podcast series, This Week in HPC. 

With the start of 2020 only 3 months away, we’re now in the process of building out plans for the year ahead in order to hit the ground running on January 1st. 

Auto-scaling HPC and Kubernetes

Bright CEO Bill Wagner’s recent blog post “The Convergence of HPC and A.I.” pointed out that creating HPC and Kubernetes silos within a shared HPC infrastructure is more like “coexistence than convergence”. The solution I will be highlighting  is Bright Auto-scaler, which automatically resizes HPC and Kubernetes clusters (workload engines) according to workload demand and configured policies. This post describes how to configure Bright Auto-scaler to achieve true convergence of HPC and A.I. through a scenario.

We are so excited to share news that Bright has launched its very own Podcast Series.

The benefits of containerization are pretty clear these days: achieving process isolation, avoiding dependency hell, and having the same environment locally as in production. This blog post gives an overview of some of the containerization solutions available today.
