HPC for everybody – users and administrators alike
HPC is often seen as a complex industry. With the vast usability improvements that are offered by today’s web technologies, we don’t see that it has to be like that any longer. Tasks that were previously complicated can be broken down and delivered through a familiar web browser paradigm.
It’s with Alces Portal that we are working to change this perception amongst users, enabling more effective use of the computing resources at their disposal, as well as providing administrators with a set of tools to facilitate common cluster monitoring and management tasks.
With Alces Portal, we want to give you full control of your system by allowing you to:
- manage your files remotely, whatever filesystem they’re stored within.
- submit and monitor the progress of your HPC jobs.
- display your quota and disk usage at a glance.
- quickly access user guides and documentation.
- configure monitoring dashboards containing vital cluster performance statistics.
- access the service processors and the web-accesible interfaces provided by your systems infrastructure.
