How do I start?
Register for a free trial or call us 877-492-8027. We're happy to discuss your computing needs. You will receive an account id, login instructions, and instructions on how to run demo programs.
I've never used a cluster for high performance computing before. Is there support?
Yes! Sabalcore's renown support sets us apart from other HPC service providers. All our services come with professional technical support for as long as you use the service. During your free trial period we work closely with you to insure your application works as you would expect it to and guide you through the use of our services. Whether you are a first-time Linux user or an expert, we want to provide you with hassle-free cluster computing services.
Will my application run on a Cluster? Do I have to use MPI?
Almost any application can be adapted to run on our Cluster. We do support MPI but the most common use for a cluster is simple data processing. For example, if your workstation takes 10 hours to process your data set, it might take just 1 hour to process the same set using 10 nodes on the Sabalcore Cluster. Typically, the data is partitioned into 10 smaller units, each cluster node processes one unit.
What do I need?
1) You need a working executable that will run on a Linux 32bit or 64bit system. We have compilers available if you need to compile or develop your code. You can also use almost any open source software or self-developed software. We also have dozens of common preinstalled open source applications in our Software Application List. We have many more available and we can install your open-source software system wide for easy accessibility.

 

2) You will also need a Secure Shell (ssh) client that is available free for Windows and comes with most Linux distributions. See our "Getting Connected Guide" on the support page for more details.

Can I run a Windows application?
Some Windows applications will run well under a Windows to Linux compatibility layer that we support. If your application is not GUI dependent (i.e. you can run it from the MS Command Window) and does not have complex .dll dependencies, then your application is a good candidate.
