Altair's PBS Works to optimize Software for Intel MIC Architecture
Altair Engineering has announced that PBS Works has partnered with Intel Corporation to optimize its software for future Intel Many Integrated Core (Intel MIC) products. The strategic partnership was formed to proactively ensure that as the first commercially available Intel MIC product, codenamed "Knights Corner", is launched broadly, PBS Professional will be able to seamlessly schedule jobs onto both Intel Xeon processors and Intel MIC co-processors without requiring additional technical support.
"Altair and Intel have worked closely together for many years and it is an honour to be part of this important development phase with Intel MIC. We are confident that the insight and expertise we have provided to Intel on hardware and software development environments, specifically those related to optimizing workload scheduling and management in the HPC environment, will ensure Altair's PBS Works and HyperWorks customers will be ready for Intel MIC when it launches," said Bill Nitzberg, CTO, PBS Works.
"The 'Knights Ferry' program allows us to gain valuable insight from our partners and ensures that Intel MIC architecture, the latest breakthrough in high-performance computing, has full software support for a variety of usage models when it launches. We are pleased to partner with Altair to enable PBS Works, a key ingredient for HPC workload management," said Paresh Pattani, Intel's Director, HPC and Many Core Computing.
