Schlumberger, Altair team on parallel Eclipse speedup

摘要

A 13 page white paper from Schlumberger and Altair Engineering provides a 'how-to' guide to integrating the Eclipse reservoir fluid flow simulator witltAltair's PBS Professional workload management system. The system was demoed at last month's ISC with Eclipse running on the latest Intel MIC 'supercomputer on a chip' (Oil IT Journal October 2011). PBS Professional allows Eclipsesimulations to be run across diverse computing resources and locations to maximize throughput. End users see a single interface to all computing resources and IT managers can optimize available compute resources by dynamically distributing workloads across wide area networks. Large MPI-based jobs are run automatically as PBS detects failed nodes and reschedules tasks around them.
