CD-adapco Uses Bright Cluster Manager to Run its In-House

San Jose, California — Bright Computing, specialist in cluster management software and services for high-performance computing (HPC), is pleased to announce that the market leader in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, CD-adapco, is using Bright Cluster Manager™ as the prefered cluster management software for its in-house HPC clusters.

The Linux HPC clusters were delivered to CD-adapco's UK and France offices by Bright Computing partner ClusterVision and are based on Dell servers and Panasas storage. CD-adapco is using the clusters to test its applications, STAR-CCM+ and STAR-CD, and to run simulations for its consultancy business.

"Bright Cluster Manager is a comprehensive cluster management solution that provides all the functionality that we need here at CD-adapco. Our key applications — STAR-CCM+ and STAR-CD — were easy to install and run well on the cluster," said Philip Jones, Euro IT Director at CD-adapco. "Bright Cluster Manager has many features that make it easy for us to manage the cluster and allow us to focus on running our CFD and CAE applications. For example, the image based provisioning makes it very easy to tailor software images and propagate changes to the compute nodes."

"Our partnership with ClusterVision and Bright Computing has greatly helped us to setup our new cluster in a short time frame and their support engineers have been responsive and helpful," added Dr Christian Fauchier, researcher at CD-adapco France.

Bright Cluster Manager™ is a Linux-based cluster management software solution specifically designed to make HPC clusters of any size easy to install, use and manage. Its intuitive graphical user interface offers a consistent access to all management and monitoring functionality for the cluster administrators. Its HPC user environment provides a comprehensive range of HPC software development tools for the cluster users.
