Bright Cluster Manager Leverages Latest NVIDIA Tesla GPUs with Unique Monitoring and Management Capabilities for GPU Clusters

SAN JOSE, California, May 4, 2010 - Bright Computing, specialist in cluster management software and services
for high-performance computing (HPC), is pleased to announce the availability
of comprehensive management and monitoring capabilities (

in its Bright Cluster Manager(TM) software. Bright Cluster Manager now
leverages the latest NVIDIA(c) Tesla(TM) 20-series GPUs based on the new
"Fermi" architecture to offer administrators and owners of GPU clusters
maximum insight and control.

Bright Cluster Manager can sample and monitor metrics from supported GPU
cards and GPU Computing Systems, such as the C2050 and the rack-mounted
S2050. Examples of supported metrics include GPU temperatures, GPU
exclusivity modes, GPU fan speeds, system fan speeds, PSU voltages and
currents, system LED states, and GPU ECC memory statistics. The frequency of
metric sampling is fully configurable and so is the consolidation of the
metrics data over time. Metrics data is stored in Bright Cluster Manager's
central SQL database and can be visualized in value/time graphs, as well as
in Bright Cluster Manager's unique Rackview.

Furthermore, Bright Cluster Manager allows for alerts and actions to be
triggered automatically when GPU metric thresholds are exceeded. Such rules
are completely configurable to suit your requirements, and any built-in
cluster management command, Linux command, or shell script can be used as an
action. For example, if you would like to automatically receive an email and
shut down a node when its GPU temperature exceeds a set value, this can
easily be configured in Bright Cluster Manager.

"There are now more than a 1000 NVIDIA GPU-based clusters around the
world," said Andy Keane, General Manager of the Tesla business at NVIDIA.
"Bright Computing's cluster management software fills a critical need for
datacenter managers to reliably monitor and manage the status of their
GPU-enabled clusters."

"Bright Cluster Manager's unique GPU management and monitoring
capabilities is rapidly making it the cluster management solution of choice
for GPU clusters", says Dr Matthijs van Leeuwen, CEO of Bright Computing. "We
will continue to work closely with NVIDIA to incorporate new GPU management
and monitoring capabilities into Bright Cluster Manager".
