Altair HPCWorks 2025 Gets Upgrade

Altair announces new upgrades to Altair HPCWorks, its high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud platform. New tools and capabilities expand cloud scaling for Altair and third-party workload managers and integrate advanced monitoring and reporting. Additional features include enhanced artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled job scheduling and visualization with support for GPUs, Kubernetes, and machine learning workflows.

“As the number one solutions provider in HPC and cloud, our latest enhancements to Altair HPCWorks empower our customers with even more comprehensive capabilities to keep them at the forefront of computational intelligence,” says Sam Mahalingam, chief technology officer, Altair. “Having next-level HPC and cloud is imperative in today’s data- and AI-driven landscape. With the industry-leading Altair HPCWorks platform, our customers can push boundaries and realize their vision knowing they have the market’s most powerful HPC and cloud platform in their toolkit.”

Altair HPCWorks: Altair Units 

Altair HPCWorks now operates within the Altair Units licensing system. The Units system features flexible, scalable, dynamic licensing. Enterprises can leverage Altair’s licensing system to connect the Altair HPCWorks platform with the Altair One gateway to enable on-premises clusters.

Cloud Scaling for Any Scheduler

Users can work in the cloud, optimize a hybrid computing environment, or burst peak-time workloads—whether using an Altair workload manager, third-party scheduler, or a mix of both. Scale up and down with the integrated cloud automation engine, and get a single, concentrated view into an organization’s HPC and cloud operations, even for multi-cloud and multi-cluster installations.

AI Integration and Streamlined Reporting

The Altair HPCWorks platform’s new AI integrations simplify job submission, and integration with the Altair RapidMiner data analytics and AI platform gives users more efficient scheduling, according to Altair, which adds that Altair HPC solutions are designed to support the technologies of AI workloads.

Detailed HPC and cloud monitoring and reporting is now integrated into every Altair workload manager.

Additional Highlights

Broad enhancements to the Altair HPCWorks product suite also include enhanced security, performance improvements, and integration with Altair’s advanced data analytics tools. Designers and developers can track complex workflows, including AI and machine learning workflows, and work in any modern programming language. Flexible scheduling enables distributed workflows, and greater GPU scheduling capabilities help cluster administrators support chip design teams and get results faster.
