an HP XC system, the use of SMP technology increases the number of CPUs (amount of

 

computational power) available per unit of space.

ssh

Secure Shell. A shell program for logging in to and executing commands on a remote computer.

 

It can provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure

 

network.

standard LSF

A workload manager for any kind of batch job. Standard LSF features comprehensive workload

 

management policies in addition to simple first-come, first-serve scheduling (fairshare,

 

preemption, backfill, advance reservation, service-level agreement, and so on). Standard LSF

 

is suited for jobs that do not have complex parallel computational needs and is ideal for

 

processing serial, single-process jobs. Standard LSF is not integrated with SLURM.

SVA

HP Scalable Visualization Array. A highly affordable, scalable, ready-to-run visualization

 

solution that completes the HP Unified Cluster Portfolio's integration of computation, data

 

management and visualization in a single, integrated cluster environment. The HP SVA solution

 

adds high-performance HP workstations in building block configurations that combine with

 

industry-standard visualization components. State-of-the-art industry standard and open source

 

clustering, graphics, and networking technology are leveraged to reduce costs and enhance

 

flexibility. The tight integration of scalable computation, data management and visualization

 

enables the following: clustered parallel visualization applications with support for very large

 

data sets, display of complex, high resolution images, including volume visualization, and

 

real-time rendering with computational steering through closely coupled visualization,

 

computation and data management.
