In running jobs on Delta HPCs supercomputer systems, what sort of systems constraints do these jobs face?
As with any computer system, there are limits to the performance features and capabilities of Delta HPC’s supercomputers. Such constraints will include data size of the task, parallelizability of the job tasks, and the language codes and programs of the application. Delta HPC has made sure in specifying its systems that such constraints do not limit the great majority of scientific supercomputing. For instance, a job would have to consist of many terabytes for it to be considered beyond the scope of Delta HPC’s supercomputer systems. Delta HPC’s systems were chosen so that it would be capable of running the great majority of scientific applications.
