Slurm, gang scheduling, MPI, optimized topology
Intensive computing without queues or opaque billing
Your simulations deserve better than a saturated shared supercomputer or an unpredictable cloud bill. A dedicated HPC cluster puts the power where your teams are, with scheduling you control.
Use cases
- Numerical simulation: CFD, finite elements, molecular dynamics
- Research: genomics, computational chemistry, climate
- Engineering: virtual crash tests, optimization, rendering
- Massive batch: financial risk, Monte-Carlo, logistics optimization
Reference architecture
- Scheduling
- Slurm with gang scheduling, partitions, QOS and fair-share: multi-node jobs start together, as close to the fabric as possible.
- Interconnect
- InfiniBand or RoCEv2 with topology-aware placement for MPI and NCCL collectives.
- Storage
- Parallel scratch (Lustre, BeeGFS) for intensive I/O, tiering to capacity storage.
- Environments
- Modules, Apptainer / Enroot containers and reproducible images for every research team.

FAQ
- Slurm or Kubernetes for HPC?
- Slurm remains the reference for gang-scheduled multi-node jobs and fine-grained compute-hour accounting. Kubernetes excels at long-running services and inference. Both coexist very well: that is often our recommendation.
- Can you migrate an existing cluster?
- Yes: audit of the existing setup, staged migration plan and cutover without interrupting running compute campaigns.
