Power your next-generation software infrastructure
We demonstrate that our HPC software infrastructure fits a wide range of workloads, from classic HPC simulations to emerging AI use cases.
Reno, NV (PRWEB)
July 6, 2023
CIQ, the company that builds innovation on Rocky Linux, today announced new software subscription capabilities available for CIQ Mountain products. CIQ has tested popular machine learning frameworks TensorFlow and PyTorch, as well as other artificial intelligence utilities and libraries such as Jupyter notebooks, to ensure they run on top of the HPC software stack. Newly tested features expand the set of key applications and features compatible with HPC subscriptions based on Rocky 8 and Rocky 9 announced in June.
“We are demonstrating that our HPC software infrastructure is suitable for a wide range of workloads, from classic HPC simulations to emerging AI use cases. It is particularly valuable in supporting the rapid adoption of mixed workflows,” said Brock Taylor, vice president of High Performance Computing and Strategic Partners at CIQ.
In addition, CIQ is working with Intel to provide AI tools optimized for Intel architectures, including the above toolset. This joint effort will facilitate the use of these tools in cloud deployments and in conjunction with the CIQ HPC software stack available as a subscription on CIQ Mountain.
Taylor added, “Working with Intel will also allow us to offer the optimizations that Intel has made internally as a value-added service. It fits.”
CIQ Mountain is a global repository that provides software and artifact delivery and lifecycle management for turnkey solutions of all sizes and across a variety of infrastructure types, both on-premises and in the cloud. All assets in the Mountain repository are certified, tested, and backed by enterprise-level support from CIQ experts. The product launched in May with a set of certified and supported assets and turnkey solutions including Rocky Linux images, verifiable packages, containers, individual applications, microservices and their associated configurations.
Additions to the Mountain repository in the last 30 days include full Rocky 8 and Rocky 9 HPC stack subscriptions, Warewulf and Apptainer builds for use with Rocky 8 and Rocky 9, and subscribers via the Mountain platform. Includes rapid bug fix support provided to Tested code added in June for popular open source research applications includes Quantum Espresso for computational chemistry, OpenFOAM for computational fluid dynamics, LAMMPS for molecular dynamics simulations, and GROMACS for molecular dynamics simulations. included.
