挑战
总部位于华盛顿州贝尔维尤的波音信息技术集团为整个公司提供广泛的计算服务。拥有高性能计算(HPC)系统的数据中心是该园区的核心。所有波音工程部门都可以使用这些 HPC 系统,其中运行空气动力学和结构模型的工程师的需求最高,尤其是在飞机设计的早期阶段。 HPC 资源主要用于工程研究和现有设计的变更。我们面临的挑战是找到一种可靠的工作负载管理器,能够处理波音不同的集群并优化一个队列下的多个资源。
关于客户
波音信息技术集团总部位于华盛顿州贝尔维尤,为整个公司提供广泛的计算服务。该园区的核心是数据中心,其中包含高性能计算 (HPC) 系统,所有波音工程部门都可以访问这些系统来运行工程模拟和分析。 HPC 系统主要用于工程研究和现有设计的改造,例如拉伸机身和额外的座椅。它们目前被集中用于波音 787 的早期新产品开发。费城和世界其他地点的波音工程师可以访问这些服务器。
解决方案
波音公司在三个 HPC 系统上实施了 Altair PBS Professional 进行工作负载管理:64 MSP Cray X1、384-CPU SGI Origin 3800 服务器以及从 Linux Networx 购买的五个集群。 PBS Professional 的对等调度功能使波音能够在集群之间均匀地平衡工作负载。这种点对点调度允许 PBS Professional 优化用户提交作业的一个队列下的多个资源。此外,Boeing 还报告称,PBS Professional 对 SGI Origin 上 CPU 集的支持带来了显着的性能优势。由于 PBS Professional 在 SGI 和 Cray 平台上运行,因此波音公司在其 Linux Networx 集群上实施它是一个合乎逻辑的步骤。
