November 15 2017 - 10:00AM
Altair Engineering Inc. (Nasdaq:ALTR) is Cray’s winner of the 2017
Supplier of the Year award and the first software company to be
awarded this honor. It is a testament to its continued
collaboration with Cray and its commitment to integrating PBS
Professional, its market-leading HPC software solution, with Cray
supercomputers to optimize overall performance for
compute-intensive environments. The award was presented during the
2017 Supercomputing (SC17) conference in Denver, Colorado.
“We are pleased to recognize Altair as this
year’s 2017 Supplier of the Year for their commitment to HPC, and
we’re excited to honor Altair as an outstanding supplier,” said
Brian Henry, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
of Cray, who oversees Cray’s supply chain and manufacturing
organizations. “This award represents excellence in the
supercomputing industry and Altair has demonstrated their
commitment to providing leading solutions to the HPC
industry.”
Cray and Altair’s development teams work closely
together to ensure PBS Professional supports Cray’s latest
innovations. The teams have worked extensively to validate and
certify PBS Professional on Cray’s unique architecture to ensure
customers have the most robust, stable, and highest-performing HPC
systems. In early 2015, the collaboration was elevated to an OEM
relationship that allows Cray to easily and cost effectively bundle
PBS Professional as Cray’s preferred workload management solution
for Cray’s supercomputers and clusters. Their common customers
benefit from Cray’s ability to easily deliver unique, integrated
technologies such as DataWarp I/O acceleration and application
power management.
“Altair is honored to have been named 2017
Supplier of the Year by Cray. This recognition means a lot to us,
as our relationship has spanned more than 15 years and together we
work hard to bring best-in-class solutions to our customers,” said
Sam Mahalingam, Chief Technical Officer of Altair. “Altair’s vision
is to transform product design and organizational decision-making
by applying simulation, optimization, and high-performance
computing throughout product lifecycles. Collaborating with leading
organizations like Cray helps us move the HPC industry forward by
providing better solutions for end users.”
