Atipa Polaris Select HPCV Clusters: A Unified Platform for HPC and Visualization

Scientific simulations and modeling continue to produce larger and larger data sets. For our brain to understand and digest these vast amounts of data, visualization becomes an indispensable tool for post-simulation processing. Data produced by simulations is therefore often copied to high-end workstations and servers with special-purpose GPUs. As simulations continue to grow, moving and copying data becomes increasingly inefficient, time consuming, and wasteful of resources. The Atipa Polaris Select HPCV Cluster Family built on Intel Xeon Scalable Processors and Intel Omni-Path Fabric technology is the industry's first unified platform for scientific simulation and visualization. Using Intel Xeon optimized rendering engines, Atipa Polaris Select HPCV clusters offer in-situ visualization of big data on the same HPC system used to generate the data, eliminating the need for wasteful data transfers and special purpose hardware.
