Selected projects
A few examples of work delivered by Tecnologías Avanzadas Aplicadas SpA in high performance computing and cluster environments.
HPC cluster for a research center
Challenge: Deploy a cluster for intensive numerical simulations with a limited budget and growth expectations.
Work performed:
- Architecture design (nodes, network, storage).
- SLURM, environment modules and authentication setup.
- Builds of climate and fluid dynamics models.
Outcome: Stable production platform with reduced runtimes and increased simulation capacity for researchers.
Queue optimization on an existing cluster
Challenge: Users experiencing long queue times while parts of the cluster remained idle.
Work performed:
- SLURM usage statistics and job mix analysis.
- Tuning of partitions, QoS and per‑user/project limits.
- Best‑practice guides for job submission.
Outcome: Higher effective utilization and reduced perceived wait times for users.
Standardized scientific environments
Challenge: Each research group maintained its own software stack, causing dependency conflicts.
Work performed:
- Definition of a base set of toolchains and libraries.
- Centralized builds of key applications.
- Deployment of environment modules (Lmod).
Outcome: Homogeneous, maintainable environment with fewer errors and higher productivity for end‑users.
