Consulting and Support to prepare your applications for the Exascale era

Preparing engineering applications for future exascale systems requires the effort and time of experts. One aspect of this preparation is to work closely with vendors to adapt your applications to their cutting-edge hardware as it becomes available, and EXCELLERAT offers such a service: the Co-Design Service.

Thanks to close relations with vendors, EXCELLERAT HPC partners have access to the more cutting-edge hardware for testing and, via the EXCELLERAT Co-Design Service, clients can investigate how their source code will need to adapt.

In most cases, the new hardware is not open to general access. As such, clients will provide the source code of a mini-app, containing their target application's key kernels, and EXCELLERAT HPC experts will report what work is required to adapt this source code. In some cases, this work will then be undertaken on behalf of the client.

Our Co-Design Service can incorporate data analytics and data management: providing modern or novel technologies; a test lab for emerging technologies; validation and benchmarking; node-level and system-level performance optimisation; and management of the service itself.

Current new hardware, available via this service, includes both CPU and GPU clusters from vendors such as AMD, ARM, HPE SGI, NVIDIA, IBM; vector machines from NEC, and FPGA clusters from Xilinx.
