M3 for Windows HPC cluster
Grid computing solution with high track records at financial institutions
M3 for Windows HPC cluster is a framework that provides functions necessary for financial institutions to use Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 as OS / middleware of cluster systems.
In the financial application such as derivative plicing tool and risk management system which require high computing power, it becomes possible to scale out the conventional server and shorten the calculation time.
M3 for Windows HPC cluster is adopted by Japanese bank's grid system and is in operation.
Even when the computational resources of thousands of cores are needed in a financial cluster system, which is rapidly increasing in computational complexity, it achieves high performance.
By utilizing the functions of Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, we can realize low price. The M³ for Windows HPC Cluster satisfies the missing functions of the financial cluster system more than enough to make a high-performance financial cluster system.
High fault tolerance is realized so that calculation can be continued even if a hardware failure occurs in a part of a large-scale cluster system or even a part of a large number of calculation applications fail.
M3 for Windows HPC cluster is configured as a framework that users can easily use by hiding the complicated control of MS-MPI. We provide various functions necessary for financial institutions to use Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 as a cluster system.
We provide various functions necessary for financial institutions to use Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 as a cluster system.
Recently, using Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, which attracts attention as a solution for financial cluster systems, has many advantages in using it in the financial grid.
Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 is a product of Microsoft that bundled HPC middleware in server OS. We provide necessary functions for cluster system including Microsoft Message Passing Interface (MS-MPI) which maximizes performance of HPC.
