Intel Chip Chat

In this livecast from OpenStack Summit Tokyo Ruchi Bhargava, Engineering Manager and Hybrid Cloud Program Owner at Intel stops by to talk about Intel’s work within the OpenStack community and how we’re seeing a lot more large scale deployments of OpenStack within Enterprise. She highlights how Intel’s Cloud for All Initiative is working to remove any barriers to Enterprise adoption of OpenStack and is dedicating two 1,000-node clusters that will be open to all developers in the community to test their code at scale with the objective of improving the overall scalability and performance of the OpenStack platform. Ruchi also talks about how Intel is working with Rackspace to assemble developer teams through the OpenStack Innovation Center (OSIC) that will work to address the key challenges facing the Openstack platform and further enable OpenStack adoption in Enterprise.

Karl Schulz, Principal Engineer of the Enterprise High Performance Computing Group at Intel discusses the OpenHPC community effort to provide an integrated collection of high performance computing (HPC) centric components that can be used to provide full-featured reference HPC software stacks. He illustrates how open source has historically been very prominent in HPC and how it is critical for HPC to continually innovate and evolve at such a rapid rate. Karl explains how providing new HPC-centric packages through OpenHPC will enable both open-source and proprietary software vendors to focus on innovation of HPC systems and in turn benefit the entire HPC community.

Barry Davis, GM of the High Performance Fabrics Operation at Intel chats about how today’s requirements for high performance computing (HPC) fabrics are outstripping the capabilities of traditional fabric technologies in performance, reliability, and economic feasibility. He highlights how Intel® Omni-Path Architecture (OPA) is delivering performance for tomorrow’s high performance computing (HPC) workloads and has the ability to scale to tens and eventually thousands of nodes at competitive price to today’s fabrics. Barry illustrates that Intel® OPA is a foundational element of the Intel® Scalable System Framework (Intel® SSF) and will continue to drive higher performance, lower latency, and more bandwidth across the Intel CPU roadmap.

Dr. Al Gara, Intel Fellow and Chief Architect for Exascale Systems for the Data Center Group at Intel stops by to talk about how Intel’s scalable system framework (SSF) is meeting the extreme challenges and opportunities that researchers and scientists face in high performance computing (HPC) today. He explains that SSF incorporates many different Intel technologies including; Intel® Xeon® and Phi® processors, Intel® Omni-Path Fabrics, silicon photonics, innovative memory technologies, and efficiently integrates these elements into a broad spectrum of system solutions optimized for both compute and data-intensive workloads. Al emphasizes that this framework has the ability to scale from very small HPC systems all the way up to exascale computing systems and meets the needs of users in a very scalable and flexible way.
