LAKE FOREST, CALIF., July 23, 2020 — PSSC Labs, a developer of high performance computing (HPC) and big data computing solutions for design & engineering, today announced that Ansys, the global leader in engineering simulation software, has named PSSC Labs an Ansys Preferred Solution Partner. Through this partnership, PSSC Labs will provide custom configured computing solutions along with best-in-class customer service to Ansys end users.

“As hardware increases in complexity and diversity, it can be difficult for clients to select the most appropriate hardware for their engineering simulation workloads,” said Wim Slagter, director of HPC and cloud alliances at Ansys. “PSSC Labs has addressed this challenge by its ability to build custom solutions for even the most challenging Ansys workloads, each built for reliability, security and performance.”

PSSC Labs is already working with several leading government and commercial organizations to deliver HPC solutions specifically for Ansys applications.

“This partnership validates what we have been doing for many years already, delivering turn-key custom platforms for Ansys workloads,” begins Alex Lesser PSSC Labs Vice President. “PSSC Labs is really unique in our understanding of complex design and engineering workflows.  Rather than just offer a canned server or cluster, we carefully listen to the needs of each individual and work with them to deliver the right solution on-time and on-budget.”

PSSC Labs can pre-install all necessary applications through the Application Integration Service (AIS). This is a big win for PSSC Labs and Ansys clients as they can begin immediately running their workloads and simulations on a validated platform by the manufacturer.

As an Ansys Preferred Solution Partner, PSSC Labs will develop and invest in new technologies that ensure the highest performing computing solutions specifically for complex solvers and other Ansys applications. PSSC Labs’ PowerWulf ZXR1+ HPC clusters and PowerServe Uniti servers are already proven to be compatible with Ansys applications. The goal now is to continue pushing the limits of computational performance while maintaining the lowest total cost of ownership. All PSSC Labs platforms can be customized to meet specific needs, budgets and timelines. PSSC Labs engineers listen carefully to specific needs and can craft highly customized solutions to meet them.

As an Ansys Preferred Solution Partner, PSSC Labs can leverage their success on several projects within the military and government spaces for clients such as the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, NASA, Fortune 500 companies, and small and medium sized businesses.

LAKE FOREST, CALIF., June 23, 2021 – PSSC Labs, a leading developer of artificial intelligence (AI), high performance computing (HPC) and big data computing solutions, today announced the launch of their AI-driven RAID Disk Space Calculator. RAID, which stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a method of combining several hard drives into one unit. By determining the best RAID configuration this allows computer hardware solutions to be configured that offer fault tolerance and higher throughput levels than a single hard drive or group of independent hard drives.  This is especially necessary for highly technical solutions like those needed for weather modeling such as those needed for hurricane predictions and other potential weather threats and forecasting.  Other solutions that can benefit from RAID calculators are artificial intelligence (AI), high performance computing, and high throughput genomics systems, among many others.

The RAID calculator consists of three critical inputs – number of anticipated disks, size of each disk (TBs), and the preferred RAID configuration. When entered, the users can then see the Total Available Storage given those three inputs. Options for the RAID configuration include:

RAID 0
This configuration requires either a disk quantity greater than one or a disk size greater than 1TB.

RAID 1
The only allowable number of disks in a RAID 1 configuration is 2 disks. However, disks can still have various storage allowances.

RAID 5

RAID 5 requires a minimum of 3 disks. Disks can have various storage allowances.

RAID 6

RAID 5 requires a minimum of 4 disks. Disks can have various storage allowances.

RAID 10

RAID 5 requires a minimum of 4 disks. Disks can have various storage allowances.

RAID 50

RAID 5 requires a minimum of 6 disks. Disks can have various storage allowances.

RAID 60

RAID 5 requires a minimum of 8 disks. Disks can have various storage allowances.

Given the complexity of RAID configuration, the team at PSSC LABS can also assist you with your unique RAID Calculation for your technology requirements.  To use the new AI-driven RAID Calculator and to determine which RAID configuration is right for your technology needs click here.

LAKE FOREST, CALIF., FEBRUARY 1, 2021 – PSSC Labs, a developer of artificial intelligence (AI), high performance computing (HPC) and big data computing solutions, today announced the launch of PowerServe Uniti HGX, the newest product in their AI/HPC Sever product family.

This unique platform is built to reach new heights in the artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) performance spaces, using up to 8 A100 GPUs connected via SXM4 Form Factor. Processor support includes 2 x Intel^® Xeon^® Scalable Processors or AMD EPYC^TM processors with a maximum 128 total cores/256 cores with hyperthreading. With memory support of 32 x DDR4 memory Dimm slots, up to 4 TB memory capacity, 3200 / 2933 / 2666 / 2400 MHz support, and 8 channel memory architecture, this system is nothing short of extraordinary. Computer scientists will experience a faster time to solution, allowing massive data sets and exploding models to be crunched without the complexity of a full cluster. This is the first server that we’ve seen that can truly replace the power of an entire cluster.
