KISTI Takes the Lead in Activating Supercomputer 5th Unit 'Nurion Service'
Published2019.11.18 17:33The Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) signed a strategic partnership agreement with Rescale, a cloud HPC (High-Performance Computing) platform provider, on the 13th at Rescale's headquarters in San Francisco, USA, to provide the ezNurion service for the activation of Supercomputer 5th Unit Nurion and to expand its user base.
Under the agreement, the two organizations will promote joint research, human resource exchanges, and joint cloud projects to improve the quality of the ezNurion service and to enhance the heterogeneous operating environment between the supercomputer and cloud platform.
Based on this, the two organizations plan to contribute not only to the popularization of domestic supercomputers but also to the development of new corporate products and market analysis, and to the resolution of social issues such as natural disasters and traffic problems.
The ezNurion service is a supercomputing environment that integrates Nurion, KISTI's supercomputing resource, with the Rescale cloud platform, making it easy for individuals or groups to utilize Nurion resources.
In the existing HPC environment, to perform CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tasks, users must perform preprocessing on a desktop and access the supercomputer to perform computational tasks, which is cumbersome.
However, on the ezNurion platform, it is possible to build an optimal framework according to the characteristics of applications such as Abaqus and ANSYS Fluent during CAE tasks, allowing users to focus on research and development more easily and quickly.
An official from KISTI stated, "If the ezNurion pilot service is properly established, users will be able to quickly verify work progress without being restricted by time and location by using VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and cloud storage rather than the existing terminal environment," and added "Users will be able to perform computational tasks, manage and analyze result data in a more convenient supercomputing environment through GUI and other features."
The ezNurion service has been in operation since November, and further details can be found on the website.
