We are excited to announce that Bright Computing has been invited to participate in the next Dell Technologies HPC Community Event:

HPC is undergoing massive changes that present both challenges and opportunities for organizations across industries. Historically, HPC has been defined by a consistent and well-known set of applications for modeling and simulation running on bare metal servers in an organization’s data center—but that is changing. We now have machine learning and data analytics applications vying for access to trusted HPC systems, ultimately throttling important work in one place or another.

ICYMI, Bright recently announced that Bright Cluster Manager was selected to support the new artificial intelligence supercomputer to be installed at National Supercomputer Centre (NSC) at Linköping University.

Earlier this week, Bright CEO Bill Wagner wrote an article featured by InsideHPC where he discusses how changes in HPC are demanding that businesses unify their HPC infrastructure from edge to core to cloud. He goes on to explain that, at the edge, while sensors and new apps that require low-latency compute certainly necessitate systems that live in close proximity (outside of public clouds and traditional data centers), the reality is, new compute-intensive/data-intensive apps in machine learning and analytics are driving the need for organizations to have a growing number of high-performance clusters in an expanding number of physical locations, as well as in the public cloud. With compute and systems destined to become increasingly decentralized in this way, the notion of the edge being an outlier to some dominant central computing infrastructure overlord will quickly become dated.

With so many of us working remotely, podcasts have become a highly consumable medium … we don’t have to be deskbound to tune in. We can enjoy rich and insightful content while walking the dog, or taking daily exercise. 

We are excited to announce that Bright Computing has been invited to participate in the next Dell Technologies HPC Community Event:

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.

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.
