HP XC System Software User's Guide Version 3.2

an HP XC system, the use of SMP technology increases the number of CPUs (amount of
computational power) available per unit of space.
ssh Secure Shell. A shell program for logging in to and executing commands on a remote computer.
It can provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure
network.
standard LSF A workload manager for any kind of batch job. Standard LSF features comprehensive workload
management policies in addition to simple first-come, first-serve scheduling (fairshare,
preemption, backfill, advance reservation, service-level agreement, and so on). Standard LSF
is suited for jobs that do not have complex parallel computational needs and is ideal for
processing serial, single-process jobs. Standard LSF is not integrated with SLURM.
SVA HP Scalable Visualization Array. A highly affordable, scalable, ready-to-run visualization
solution that completes the HP Unified Cluster Portfolio's integration of computation, data
management and visualization in a single, integrated cluster environment. The HP SVA solution
adds high-performance HP workstations in building block configurations that combine with
industry-standard visualization components. State-of-the-art industry standard and open source
clustering, graphics, and networking technology are leveraged to reduce costs and enhance
flexibility. The tight integration of scalable computation, data management and visualization
enables the following: clustered parallel visualization applications with support for very large
data sets, display of complex, high resolution images, including volume visualization, and
real-time rendering with computational steering through closely coupled visualization,
computation and data management.
