OSC and PGI collaboration to promote Linux cluster computing

As part of the strategic alliance, PGI has adopted OSC-developed training materials into PGI's recently announced PGI CDK Cluster Development Kit. The PGI CDK is a set of compilers, tools and utilities that simplifies setup, management and application development for Linux cluster systems used for high performance technical computing.

"OSC is one of the most important regional high performance computing centers in the country," said Douglas Miles, VP of marketing and sales at PGI, "We're extremely pleased that OSC has chosen to standardize on PGI's Linux compilers and tools for users migrating from RISC/UNIX workstations to Linux. As discussions progressed, it became clear we had very similar plans and goals for Linux clustering software. A formal alliance to further both of our efforts is the perfect means for PGI to add important tutorial content to the PGI CDK, and for OSC to have the means to easily distribute both their software and the other elements of the PGI CDK to their partner institutions throughout the state of Ohio."

OSC is Ohio's flagship center for high performance computing and networking. It is a place where networking, computing and education converge to position Ohio as the education and information state of the future. For more than a decade, OSC has connected the state's higher education community to advanced computing and networking resources. Today, OSC continues to present new technologies to the state, helping to advance science, engineering, education and industry. More information on OSC can be found at www.osc.edu.
