Wharton School Scales Up HPC: High-performance Computing Upgrade Extends Research to the Cloud

Founded in 1881 as the world’s first collegiate business school, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania is known for leadership and innovation in business education. Staying on top as a leader among world-class business schools necessitates an HPC infrastructure that can support a vast number of users.

Wharton needed to extend its HPC environment in a cost-effective way — without impacting its large roster of users, who need ready access to the latest tools, infrastructure, and technical expertise. Since Wharton was already using Altair® Grid Engine® as its go-to solution for HPC job management, the team looked to Altair NavOps™, software designed for organizations experiencing increasing volumes of high-priority workloads, where response speed and accuracy is critical.
