June 17 2019 - 8:00AM
Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global technology company providing
solutions in product development, high-performance computing and
data intelligence, has signed a global VAR agreement with
multinational technology provider NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701)
to market and sell industry-leading HPC workload manager and job
scheduler Altair PBS Professional™. As a result of the agreement,
NEC has worldwide rights to bundle the PBS Professional solution
with all NEC X86/Linux® systems.
This agreement opened the door to another opportunity for Altair
and NEC to collaborate on the porting of PBS Professional to
support their SX-Aurora TSUBASA Vector Engine Processor. NEC will
contribute code to the PBS Professional open source project, and
Altair will include this enhancement in future PBS Professional
commercial releases. Used by thousands of companies worldwide, PBS
Professional — part of the Altair PBS Works™ workload management
suite — enables engineers in HPC environments to improve
productivity, optimize resource utilization and efficiency, and
simplify the process of cluster workload management. "NEC has an
accomplished history of providing ‘connected' value to enterprises
and their high-performance computing customers, both domestically
and internationally. This partnership with Altair enables us to
further expand our ‘connected' value in HPC where one-stop
connectivity can be provided from the edge to the cloud," said Akio
Ikeda, deputy general manager of the AI Platform Division at NEC
Corporation. "By combining Altair’s workload management technology
and NEC's hardware solution, we are confident that we can
contribute to the realization of customers' research needs quickly,
easily and flexibly."
Altair knows HPC, and PBS Professional is built for
high-performance computing. Features include million-core
scalability, end-to-end resilience, a flexible plugin framework,
and unparalleled security. With PBS Professional you get fast,
powerful scheduling with power and topology awareness and

“We’re excited to deepen Altair’s relationship with NEC by
