VERTEX is a Hybrid HPC platform architecture where ‘VERTEX’ control nodes transparently connect light-weight, heterogeneous compute nodes to storage and system services.
Welcome to Open-Vertex.
VERTEX is a hybrid HPC platform architecture where "VERTEX" control nodes
transparently connect light-weight heterogeneous compute nodes to storage and
system services. Open-Vertex is an open source implementation of VERTEX
developed by HPCLinks and maintained on github.
A subcomponent of Open-Vertex is the open source package called XCPU2.
Open-Vertex contains a fork of the XCPU2 because the VERTEX objectives are
significantly different than XCPU2 and XCPU2 maintenance has subsided.
We are grateful to the XCPU2 developers for giving us a strong platform to
start with.
VERTEX address the challenges posed by today's Hybrid HPC systems that use
traditional CPUs as well as compute intensive processors such as GPGPUs,
many-core, and Cell processors on the same HPC system. By employing a set of
unique features, VERTEX provides unprecedented levels of ease-of-use,
flexibility and scalability for commodity hybrid HPC systems.
