NovaGlobal had successfully commissioned a NVIDIA GPU-enabled HPC Cluster based on GROMACS for a local university. The entity is involved in research into natural gas technologies.

GROMACS is a molecular dynamics simulation package. It is one of the fastest and most popular software available for molecular simulation and can run on CPUs as well as on GPUs. With NVIDIA Tesla K40 GPUs, the expectation is to see 2X and 3X speedups as compared to the latest multi-core CPUs.

NovaGlobal had successfully completed an end-to-end turnkey HPCC solution for Monash University in Malaysia. The facility would enable the university to support local research efforts more efficiently. The plan is to support a broad spectrum of research initiatives ranging from fundamental natural and social sciences, numerous engineering applications, to multidisciplinary research.

Key components of the infrastructure comprise of IBM Flex Systems, v3700 Storage and GPFS (General Parallel File System). The system was deployed and managed with IBM Platform HPC. Scientific applications supported include Fluent, Comsol, Octave, Mathematica, Matlab, Openfoam & R.
