Intel® Cluster Ready


Put more power behind your high-performance computing (HPC) applications

Intel Cluster Ready is an architecture and a program that makes it easier to gain the performance advantages of HPC clusters.

Developed with hardware and software vendors, Intel Cluster Ready lets you match your HPC applications to today's leading platforms and components. Pre-configured cluster solutions are delivered ready to run, so you can unleash more parallel performance faster.

The Intel® Cluster Checker, is a key element of the Intel Cluster Ready validation process, and helps to verify that cluster components continue working together throughout the cluster lifecycle, to increase uptime, productivity, and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).



World-Class Supercomputing on a Flexible, Standards-based Cluster
When the Center for Computing and Communication at RWTH Aachen University decided to upgrade its high-performance computing (HPC) system, project leaders released an open tender for a system that would combine massive capacity with the flexibility to support a broad range of research needs.

Read how Bull, science+computing and Intel Cluster Ready helped RWTH Aachen University deliver powerful, flexible HPC resources to more than a thousand researchers. Read more.




Take Flight with Intel Cluster Ready
Want to test drive your application on an HPC cluster in the cloud? Using UniCloud*, an HPC platform-as-a-service product from Univa, you can setup an Intel Cluster Ready cluster in a public cloud, such as Amazon EC2*, in a matter of minutes. Then you can upload your data and your application and get to work.

It’s a low-cost, low-risk way to find out how HPC cluster computing can help you accomplish more in less time—or to supplement existing cluster resources. (Please work with your ISV to secure application licenses for Cloud usage.) Learn more.

When you see the Intel Cluster Ready name, you can be assured the cluster solution complies
with the Intel Cluster Ready specification and has passed the tests of the Intel® Cluster Checker.
