Across industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, financial, etc., edge computing has become more complex and nuanced as the digital age has progressed.

As we collectively catch our breath after what can only be described as an unprecedented year, this is a good opportunity to look back on Bright Computing’s journey through the previous 12 months.

We are really pleased that the University of Vigo in Spain has chosen Bright Cluster Manager to build and manage its HPC Linux cluster. 

You won’t be surprised to hear that CIUK 2020 will be a virtual event this year. This marks CIUK’s 31st year, and it will be the first ever online event for the team. Rather fittingly, the theme of the 2020 event will be “computing in a virtual world”, looking at how approaches to research and working practices have changed during the pandemic. 

Well, what a week that was! We would have all preferred to be together at SC20 because virtual events are never the same, but we are grateful to you all for taking the time to visit Bright during SC20. 

We’ve respected and worked with Addison Snell of Intersect360 for many years, so we were delighted that he was able to collaborate with us on a recent stat sheet project.

With SC week upon us, it has been a great opportunity to catch up with our partners across the globe. I was compelled to give an update on our partner AMAX; a global leader in application-tailored solutions that enables its customers to solve complex computing challenges, meet product development demands, and integrate virtualized applications.

Every once in a while, you face a situation that you just never expected. That was the case for Silicon Mechanics earlier this year.

I was thrilled to read in the news today, that the Ookami computer at Stony Brook University has been launched and is now available to researchers nationwide as a testbed for exciting new high-performance computing technology. 

We’d like to draw your attention to an article published today on The Next Platform. In the article, the author, David Gordon, explores the topic of HPC and virtualization, with an eye on an upcoming webinar that is due to take place next week on this very topic:
