LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 11/11/14 -- Cycle Computing, the leader in cluster Cloud computing, announced today it has created the world's largest enterprise Cloud computing run by leveraging more than 70,000 cores on AWS for a Fortune 500 manufacturing company. The manufacturer tapped Cycle Computing's software to reduce the amount of time required to run a workload that took 30 days down to just 8 hours. The workload was accelerated by a Cloud cluster with 70,908 cores that measured 729 teraFLOPS (trillions of floating point calculations per second at peak), and would be comparable to the 63rd fastest supercomputer in operation today, all for just $5,593.94. The impact to the business is to reduce time to market of new and innovative products.

Enterprise-speed Cloud Clusters
Dubbed the Gojira run, Cycle Computing was able to quickly and securely create the Cloud cluster tapping into 70,908 cores over three AWS regions. It took Cycle Computing just three days from the initial request to run a workload this large, until the workload was completed, and the manufacturing company's engineering team had its results.

"Today we have demonstrated not only the scale of what's possible, but also the agility customers have to tackle problems in days with resources that are 100 times greater than what they have in-house," said Jason Stowe, Cycle Computing CEO. "Since 2010, Cycle has encouraged using Cloud to ask the right questions, regardless of scale. Today, this Fortune 500 use case shows how enterprises are adopting Cloud and engineers who rely on computer simulations are truly no longer limited by computing infrastructure."

Record Cloud Cluster Computing Powered by CycleCloud
CycleCloud is the leading software for creating Technical Computing and HPC (high performance computing) clusters in the Cloud, from modest sized systems of 64-6,400 cores to systems that rank as some of the fastest computers in the world (156,000+ cores). CycleCloud makes it easy to deploy, secure, automate, and manage running calculations dynamically -- in most cases with a single click. CycleCloud takes the delays, configuration, administration, and sunken hardware costs out of HPC clusters. Now, engineers, researchers, and quants can use CycleCloud to size the infrastructure to the technical question or computation at hand.
