SGI, a provider of data center solutions, has introduced SGI Management Center and SGI ProPackTM 7. SGI Management Center (SMC) is a control center and central interface for system management of SGI platforms that provides management across individual servers to racks to SGI systems. SGI ProPack 7 is new version of SGI’s suite of tools and libraries that enable performance on standard Linux distributions.
SMC includes a graphical user interface that provides view of system health, server status, performance metrics and software images. Display options include dashboards and a set of metrics thumbnails to allow users to evaluate the health of their entire system at a glance.
According to the company, SGI ProPack 7 enables application performance on standard Linux distributions. It leverages the SGI’s message passing toolkit, a Message Passing Interface-2 (MPI-2) compliant MPI library, to provide scalability to processors. ProPack 7 introduces MPI PerfBoost, which allows applications written for other MPI implementations such as Intel MPI, MPICH and platform MPI, to take advantage of the performance and scalability of MPT at runtime without recompiling. ProPack 7 also introduces the SGI unified parallel compiler.
ProPack 7 includes tools for input-output acceleration, optimizing data placement, solvers and support, in a single software package. SGI’s current records in SPEC CPU2006 integer rate with SGI Altix UV and SPECmpiL on SGI Altix ICE are powered by ProPack.
