In the first of a series of posts spotlighting applications for clusters and clouds, today I’d like to take a look at how Bright Cluster Manager adds value in academia. Later posts in the series will look at the use of high performance computers (HPC), OpenStack, and Hadoop in other settings, and review how and why Bright Cluster Manager adds value.

You’ll see performance improvements without having to change a single character in your source code. Even the size of object files can be optimized through use of the nvprune utility.
