Penguin Solutions announced the release of new versions of both Scyld ClusterWare and Scyld Cloud Workstation software. Penguin's Scyld software portfolio helps customers manage their HPC environments and get maximum benefit from their investment. Scyld ClusterWare 12.0, due to be released in the first quarter of 2023, includes significant improvements in performance and stability, and introduces a completely redesigned GUI.

The updated interface provides administrators with powerful tools to manage and monitor their compute environment saving valuable IT time. This release increases ease of use without sacrificing the power and flexibility that customers of the Scyld ClusterWare suite have come to rely on to optimally manage their HPC environments. Scyld Cloud Workstation 12.1 is available now as an update to version 12.0, which was released in September 2022.

Users have many options when it comes to choosing a remote desktop access solution; however, few are able to deliver the dual combination of superior performance and the broad feature set of Scyld Cloud Workstation 12.1. For example, the new release is able to support a frame rate of 60fps across all platforms, with resolutions up to 4K -- all delivered through a standard browser without plugins. With this increased level of performance and refined ease-of-use features, customers of Penguin's Scyld Cloud Workstation software will have a noticeably better experience and increased productivity across all aspects. Penguin Computing will be displaying both Scyld Cloud Workstation 12.1 and an early release of Scyld ClusterWare 12.0 at the Penguin Solutions booth #2400 at SC22 in Dallas this week.

Scyld ClusterWare software is comprehensive, scalable, and flexible HPC cluster management and monitoring software. A descendant of the original Beowulf clusters developed at NASA in the 1990s, Scyld ClusterWare 12.0 continues to lead the way in enterprise-grade solutions for HPC and AI environments. Scyld ClusterWare version 12.0 is due to be released in First Quarter 2023.
