Description
Rocks is an open-source Linux distribution designed for building computational clusters, grid endpoints, and visualization tiled-display walls with ease for end users. Since its inception in May 2000, the Rocks team has worked to simplify the deployment and management of clusters, focusing on making them easy to deploy, manage, upgrade, and scale effectively. The most recent version, Rocks 7.0, also known as Manzanita, is exclusively a 64-bit release based on CentOS 7.4, incorporating all updates as of December 1, 2017. This distribution comes with a variety of tools, including the Message Passing Interface (MPI), which are essential for converting a collection of computers into a functional cluster. Users can customize their installations by incorporating additional software packages during the installation process using specially provided CDs. Moreover, recent security vulnerabilities known as Spectre and Meltdown impact nearly all hardware, and appropriate mitigations are implemented through operating system updates to enhance security. As a result, Rocks not only facilitates the creation of clusters but also ensures that they remain secure and up-to-date with the latest patches and enhancements.
Description
SAS Grid Manager empowers organizations to excel in their competitive landscape by enhancing computing capabilities, efficiently addressing peak demands in a cost-effective manner through a versatile, centrally governed grid computing framework. This system allows IT departments to adaptively meet service level agreements by reallocating computing resources to handle high-demand workloads or shifting business requirements, all while maintaining centralized control over policies, programs, queues, and job prioritization for various users and applications. In a grid setup that incorporates multiple servers, tasks can be executed on the most suitable resource available, ensuring that if one server encounters an issue, tasks can seamlessly transition to an alternative server without delay. IT personnel can carry out maintenance on designated servers or augment computing resources without causing interruptions to ongoing analytics tasks or business operations. Additionally, SAS Grid Manager enhances support for a range of analytics environments by efficiently managing jobs not only in SAS but also in other programming languages, which fosters rapid execution of analytical processes. This capability significantly boosts productivity while ensuring that analytics workflows remain uninterrupted, further solidifying an organization’s operational efficiency.
