THE BRIGHT BLOG

We’ve just returned from OpenStack Days Nordic, a two-day conference in Copenhagen. As was to be expected, it was a worthwhile event.The keynotes, especially, did not disappoint.

According to IDC FutureScape: Worldwide Cloud 2016 Predictions, the cloud will be the preferred delivery mechanism for analytics by 2018. For enterprises across sectors, turning that prediction into reality will be driven by HPC used to run parallel applications.

There are plenty of options for building a Linux cluster, including commercial and open-source software. Of course, there are limitations to the support an open-source community can provide, and not all commercial solutions are up to the task.

You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity speak at SC17! We are inviting customers and partners to speak on the show floor in our booth at the Colorado Convention Center, November 13-16. Bright will have a live Theater within the booth featuring hourly 20-minute presentations from Bright customers and partners. If you’re a Bright customer or partner, this is a perfect opportunity to promote your business and its success, in front of industry peers and potential customers. If you’re a customer, come talk about the cool and unique things you are doing with your Bright-managed environment. If you’re a partner, tell people about your unique Bright-enabled solutions and how Bright’s products are helping you achieve your goals.

While tech companies like Google and Facebook have already invested heavily in deep learning technology as a core part of automating their services, the broader impact on enterprises more generally is just beginning.

You've probably noticed an uptick in talk about machine learning and deep learning in your circle of HPC friends and colleagues. People are finding new ways to apply deep learning to all sorts of business problems and using HPC clusters to provide the compute power. But things are changing so rapidly that it's hard to keep up with all the new libraries, frameworks, architectures, and tools you can choose from. 

CHPC has been a Bright customer since 2015. We first wrote about CHPC shortly after the South Africa-based research organization had chosen Bright Cluster Manager to manage the infrastructure of its supercomputer facility, and since that time, our two companies have built a strong and dynamic relationship.

With Deep Learning experiencing unprecedented momentum in the HPC market, I find it exciting that Bright’s development team is focusing in on this area, and is involved in cutting edge Deep Learning innovation.
