关于客户
高等师范学院 (SNS) 是一所公立大学教育机构,根据拿破仑法令于 1810 年 10 月 18 日正式成立。它处于全球研究的前沿,仅根据成绩选拔学生。课程以研讨会的形式举行,教育和研究之间有着密切的联系。 SNS 研究活动传统上分为两个主要领域:艺术和科学。毕业生包括科学家、政治家和知识分子,其中许多人在各自的领域取得了令人瞩目的成就。 SNS 理学院拥有多个国际公认的生物学、化学、物理和数学研究小组,涉及几乎所有科学领域的理论和应用研究。
挑战
Scuola Normale Superiore (SNS) 是一所位于全球研究前沿的公立大学教育机构,其使命是将 IT 创新转化为计算科学的机会。 SNS 理学院拥有多个国际公认的生物学、化学、物理和数学研究小组,涉及几乎所有科学领域的理论和应用研究。为了支持具有强大理论/计算背景的最先进的研究调查,SNS 建立了 DREAMSLab,这是一个致力于高性能计算 (HPC) 以及尖端可视化和虚拟现实技术的中心。 DreamsHPC计算设施的核心是戴尔集群,拥有超过2600个实时监控核心。然而,考虑到在 DreamsHPC 集群上运行的模拟的复杂性,有必要仔细规划要在基础设施上部署的软件层。关键要求是总体上易于管理现有的异构硬件,以及显着简化在现有结构中添加新计算节点以及计算程序在节点上的分布。
解决方案
对于 HPC 工作负载管理,SNS 选择了 Altair 的 PBS Professional,这是一款行业领先的产品,在全球 20 个国家/地区拥有数千名用户并提供支持。 PBS Professional 因其高效、灵活性和稳健性而被选中。它允许通过每个节点系列的队列标签以自洽的方式分配可用计算能力。借助 PBS Professional,SNS 的 HPC 用户现在可以动态平衡地访问可用计算资源,以便在长达一个月的时间内运行其作业。此外,提交的计算实例的管理对用户来说是完全透明的,这一点很重要,因为用户希望跟踪模拟的状态,而不浪费与操作系统环境交互的时间。安装 PBS Professional 后,SNS 的占用率显着提高,集群利用率比之前的配置提高了 50%。

Advanced Elastomer Systems Upgrades Production
In order to maintain its share of the international market for thermoplastic elastomers AES recently expanded its Florida plant by adding a new production line. While the existing lines were operating satisfactorily using a PROVOX distributed control system with traditional analog I/O, AES wanted advanced technology on the new line for greater economy, efficiency, and reliability. AES officials were anxious to get this line into production to meet incoming orders, but two hurricanes slowed construction.

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
