Cray, AMPLab, NERSC Collaborate on Spark Performance for HPC Platforms

Today NERSC announced a collaboration with UC Berkeley's AMPLab and Cray to design large-scale data analytics stacks. "Analytics workloads will be an increasingly important workload on our supercomputers and we are thrilled to support and participate in this key collaboration," said Ryan Waite, senior vice president of products at Cray. "As Cray's supercomputing platforms enable researchers and scientists to model reality ever more accurately using high-fidelity simulations, we have long seen the need for scalable, performant analytic tools to interpret the resulting data. The Berkeley Data Analytics Stack (BDAS) and Spark, in particular, are emerging as a de facto foundation of such a toolset because of their combined focus on productivity and scalable performance."
