By TechTaffy Desk

Intel will distribute SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for High Performance Computing as an option for the recently introduced Intel HPC Orchestrator, an Intel-supported HPC system software stack. The companies will also offer joint support for the combined solution.

“HPC is no longer just for specialized scientific projects,” said Michael Miller, president of strategy, alliances and marketing for SUSE. “Today HPC is converging with big data analytics, IoT, machine learning and robotics to open up a whole new era of computing potential.”

Intel HPC Orchestrator with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server will be available from Intel in the fourth quarter of 2016.
