Cancellous Bone Simulation

This blog post is one in the series of the use case descriptions. This use case runs usually in an HPC environment and complex enough to demonstrate, how to adapt an HPC application to the MIKELANGELO architecture and software stack. Introduction The purpose of  the Cancellous bone simulation is to understand the structure of the…

Making Torque ready for Virtual Machines

Follow @mikelangelo_eu This blog post presents the work done on enabling the virtual machines inside the Torque resource manager. First, what is Torque? Torque is an open source technology, fork of PBS, to schedule computing tasks (jobs) on big clusters and HPC installations, developed by Adaptive Computing. It consists of three major parts: (at least…

Follow @mikelangelo_eu This article introduces the architecture of the MIKELANGELO project, describing our main innovations. At the same time this article is the first of the MIKELANGELO architecture series. The remaining article dive deep on individual innovations. MIKELANGELO’s architecture builds on the experience of dozens of researchers across 9 renowned organisations to optimise and leverage VM performance.…
