Cycle Computing highlights the advantages of cloud cluster computing, demonstrating a significant reduction in run time from 30 days to 8 hours for advanced drive design simulations. The world's largest Fortune 500 cloud run utilized 70,908 AWS cores, achieving 729 teraflops of computing power and showcasing the agility and scalability of cloud computing technologies. This innovation enables rapid problem-solving at a scale 100 times greater than in-house capabilities, reflecting a broader enterprise adoption of cloud resources.
Cycle Cloud 70,000 Core AWS Cluster for HGST
- 1. LEADER IN CLOUD CLUSTER COMPUTING November 2014 0
- 2. Cycle Computing believes access to cloud cluster computing accelerates discovery & invention
- 3. HGST, A Western Digital Company Transforming design of drives that hold the world’s data • The Science – The Problem: 30 days to finish the run in-house, stopping other work – Engineering advanced drive heads by doing 1 Million simulations of potential designs – 1 Million simulations = Sweep of 22 design parameters on three different media types. • The Business “At every step, we are innovating with purpose and pace to exceed the expectations of our customers” – Mike Cordano, President
