Supercomputing infrastructure is a platform created to provide users with tools for data analysis, modeling, and visualization. It has a large number of high-speed networked computing servers / nodes running in parallel increasing the processing speed to provide high-performance computing. All hardware would be useless without a software platform that facilitates the user experience and allows maximum use of the cluster infrastructure at a high level. This is why a software infrastructure is used that optimizes and allows the use of each of the areas of specialization. An important part of the software platform is a resource manager. With this tool, users' jobs can be scheduled using different parameters, configure a maximum time for each job and, of course, distribute resources among users. Another piece of the software platform are applications, computer programs that allow simulations or analysis of large volumes of data.
Kabré represents CeNAT's computing platform (cluster), created to provide users with tools for data analysis, modeling and visualization. Kabré is a word from the Ngäbe language that means a lot. This is in line with the current composition of the cluster, which features multiple parallel architectures. These architectures are associated with the following areas (Machine Learning, Simulation, Big Data and Bioinformatics). Kabré has: 120 TB of storage. 10 GB of interconnectivity network. 2048 computation nuclei. NVIDIA Tesla K40 and V100.
