Much attention is paid to the compute elements of HPC architectures, and rightly so. However, if those elements are not appropriately connected in a balanced and performant manner to other servers and to storage, then the optimizations provided by the server technologies will be unrealized as new bottlenecks appear. While there are multiple approaches for compute and storage interconnect architectures, recent survey data suggests the prevailing architecture is expected to shift from a preference of independent node-node and node-storage networks to a preference of converged networks with respondents’ next HPC procurement. This data is from an annual study which is part of the eighth edition of Hyperion Research’s high-performance computing (HPC) end-user-based tracking of the HPC marketplace. It included 181 HPC end-user sites with 3,830 HPC systems.

Slurm Remains Top Resource Manager
Melissa Riddle and Mark Nossokoff
Slurm continues to be the most popular job queuing, resource manager, or scheduling software at HPC sites around the world. In a recent study, Slurm maintained its lead with half of all respondents (50.0%) reporting they use Slurm at least some of the time. After Slurm, the most popular resource managers and schedulers were OpenPBS (18.9%), PBS Pro (13.9%), Torque (13.3%), NQS (12.2%), and LSF (10.6%).
