Sabalcore Computing Awarded US Navy Contract for High Performance Computing Services


MELBOURNE, Florida, April 11 — Sabalcore Computing today announced it was selected by the U.S. Navy to provide the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Warfare Center Weapons Division with high performance computing cloud services.

The contract will allow NAVAIR to utilize scientific computational capabilities via the cloud. NAVAIR will use this contract to run compute intensive weather modeling applications. These applications, which run in parallel, require a large number of servers and specialized interconnects. The models NAVAIR will run include the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS).

Weather forecasts and environmental simulations demand vast numbers of data points for accuracy. The complexity and timeliness of these forecasting models are directly tied to the power of the computing system. Under the contract, NAVAIR will utilize Sabalcore's Dedicated services to deliver the required computational resources.

"As a leader in high performance computing services with past experience with the Navy and Department of Defense contracts and extensive experience supporting WRF and COAMPS, Sabalcore is uniquely qualified to support NAVAIR and their requirements," said John Van Workum, president and co-founder. "Sabalcore's services are flexible, reliable, and scalable which are important for both our private sector and government clients. Under Sabalcore's Dedicated service offering, we were able to fulfill all of NAVAIR's requirements including specific hardware requirements and application support."

Under the terms of the contract, Sabalcore will provide a complete range of services. These services include private cloud operations and maintenance, system administration, software support and consulting.

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

CERN, Google, and the Future of Global Science Initiatives

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
