Arak University Supercomputer Center

The Arak University Supercomputer Center

The Arak University Supercomputer Center has been equipped with the assistance of Amirkabir Simulators Company. Supercomputers provide the conditions for powerful and advanced calculations and significantly reduce costs. The benefits of using a supercomputing system include access to resources that allow the system to hide the complexity of resource management from the user. Current meta-computing systems are widely recognized as leaders in the field of supercomputing. The Arak University Cloud Processing Center is also one of the centers equipped by Amirkabir Simulators.

The supercomputers available at the Arak University Supercomputer Center can provide economical solutions for solving complex computational problems and allow small companies to access high-performance computing capabilities as needed. Users can pay for their actual usage on a rental basis and avoid the burden of high ownership costs. Amirkabir Simulators has also provided significant assistance in implementing the Arak University parallel and network processing laboratory.

Planning for the Establishment of the Arak University Cloud Processing Center

The Arak University High-Speed Processing Center

Supercomputers allow users to access desktop supercomputers with powerful graphics capabilities and use distributed supercomputers to solve complex problems. Individuals can collaborate with other users in different geographical locations. This also applies to the Arak University Supercomputer Center.

When high-performance computing facilities are concentrated in one location, such as the Arak University Supercomputer Center, there may be inflexibility and redundancy. Therefore, a failure can cause a major disruption in operations.

The Arak University HPC system uses heterogeneous distributed computing from computing facilities in different locations that are interconnected by a high-speed network. Various service providers can be part of the network and compete for customers, which leads to lower prices and higher quality services. This feature can be clearly seen in the Arak University Supercomputer Center.

The Goal of the Arak University High-Speed Computing Center

The main goal of supercomputing in the Arak University HPC system is to integrate different computers, with different capabilities, into one large virtual computer capable of solving problems of unprecedented complexity. The entire work is controlled from microprocessor-based workstations, which also take care of all scalar (non-vector, non-parallel) calculations.

The results of calculations obtained from the Arak University High-Speed Computing Center are now displayed immediately on several advanced graphics workstations, allowing various researchers to simultaneously examine different aspects of the entire complex computation. In the Arak University parallel and network processing laboratory, a meta-computer, as a representative of the supercomputing paradigm, provides simple access to centralized services at different geographical sites and joins them into a virtual parallel supercomputer.

Supercomputers play an important role in large IT companies.

The Arak University Supercomputer Center has created a personalized computing environment that can move freely between researchers, increasing both their mobility and the efficiency of using computing resources. Also, the supercomputing paradigm increases the efficient use of computers and their installed software.

Last but not least, the meta-computer increases robustness – users at an individual site may continue their work even in the event of a local node failure. This is also true of the Arak University High-Speed Processing Center.

What do Supercomputers Do?

This section refers to the activities carried out at the Arak University Supercomputer Center:

• The supercomputer supports solving problems related to the integration of multiple applications, computing resources, data storage resources, as well as real-time sensors.
• Air traffic control, weather forecasting and modeling, particle path analysis.
• Management of heterogeneous computers, i.e., interfaces, standards, communications, data exchange.
• Multiple execution time systems.
• Synchronization (or calculation of resources).
• Handling wide distribution including networks, fault tolerance (temporary and long-term), redundant resources, scheduling.
• For handling heterogeneous data such as real-time, static, installed networks, archived formats, fields, views, schemas, ownership, asymmetric access rights.
• To handle multi-user identities including different user IDs on each system, collaborating users.

The Arak University Supercomputer Center also manages multiple security systems and techniques.

Managing multiple security systems is better done with supercomputers.

Solutions of the Arak University Supercomputer Center

• Systems that support other specific systems, for example, Problem Solving Environments (PSEs) of the Arak University computational server.
• The Arak University computational server toolkit, which uses common distributed computing collections to create environments or frameworks.
• Providing a complete and huge system such as object-oriented systems or distributed operating systems through renting the parallel and high-speed processing system of Arak University.

Conclusion

The Arak University Supercomputer Center carries out activities with the aim of solving complex and large computational problems. However, due to the high price of equipment and tools, renting the parallel and high-speed processing system of Arak University is recommended. The Arak University Supercomputer Center can create a kind of personalized computing environment that can increase the mobility and efficiency of researchers and specialists in this field. Considering the advantages that supercomputers have, Amirkabir Simulators has made great efforts to provide help and advice to companies in this field.
