Recent Success

Futuris is a company that designs and manufactures automotive seating and interiors at design and manufacturing facilities around the world. Considering their reputation for high quality and innovation, they looked for a system that would keep Futuris ahead of the industry and push design limits.

XENON designed a solution based on a Linux cluster architecture with a management and storage node and five compute nodes tied together by XENON’s customized cluster solution. All nodes leverage Intel®’s Grantley platform with Haswell dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2667v3 Processors. These processors were chosen for their high single core performance as well as their high throughput with 8 physical cores per CPU.

The high speed Infiniband interconnect ties the cluster together into a high performance machine, which maximises the throughput and minimises the run time for the finite element simulations and model turn-around time for the engineers.

This unique oil sector technology project returns strong cost to benefit ratio.

Geoff Balemans, Telecommunications and High Performance Computing Manager at Oil Search works with the upstream technical computing groups. He explains that with low oil prices, it’s a much less forgiving market for error and so detailed modelling of assets, using sophisticated technology, becomes even more of a priority.

Balemans turned to long-term consulting partner, XENON to assist with this challenge. On this occasion, XENON designed a solution using new Intel® technology, Intel® Cache Acceleration Software for Windows* Workstations (Intel® CAS-W).

By storing a copy of this “hot” data in the SSD, server applications can access the data and run faster. Intel® CAS-W offers up to 12 times more performance on transactional database processing and up to 36 times faster processing of I/O intensive virtualised workloads.

XENON, a High Performance Computing (HPC) specialist, won a competitive tender to build and deliver a bespoke HPC computer that can process and analyse larger datasets than ever before, and put Australia at the forefront of big data research.

Led by Professor David Abramson, designer of FlashLite and Director of the University of Queensland’s Research Computing Centre, the computer includes three main innovations: high speed flash memory (instead of spinning disk), large amounts of high-speed main memory and software shared memory. Inspired by the US National Science Foundation Machine, Gordon, it will help deliver breakthroughs in research such as cardiac disease, climate change and astrophysics.

XENON delivered a system that includes ScaleMP software to provide huge memory mainframe-style processing benefits in a modern cluster system using next generation technologies. Compute nodes in FlashLite can be flexibly aggregated together into larger ‘supernodes’ using ScaleMP’s vSMP (versatile symmetric multiprocessing) software.
