Kupsilla High-Performance Computing Services: A Unified Solution for Scientific Workloads
Empowering Breakthroughs Through Optimized Computational Excellence
Kupsilla delivers comprehensive High-Performance Computing (HPC) services designed to accelerate your organization's scientific and engineering innovation. Our platform provides a sophisticated, adaptable, and cost-efficient solution for managing heterogeneous workloads, offering a single point of control and transparent management across both cloud and on-premises environments.
The Challenge: Navigating Computational Complexity
Organizations face:
- Operational Inefficiencies: High overhead from managing fragmented HPC and cloud resources.
- Accessibility Barriers: Complex interfaces limit productivity for diverse user groups.
- Redundant Efforts & Resource Waste: Lack of data lineage leads to duplicated computations and opaque progress.
- Slow Innovation Cycles: Cumbersome integration of new models impedes rapid adoption of cutting-edge methodologies.
The Kupsilla Solution: A Unified, Intelligent HPC Ecosystem
Kupsilla's platform provides a highly flexible computational environment built on key pillars:
Core Functionality
Our platform simplifies computationally intensive scientific workloads (e.g., molecular dynamics, protein modelling, computational biology), enabling comprehensive control and oversight.
- Computational Job Orchestration: Seamless application execution, precise input data specification, dynamic resource allocation via API-driven SLURM, automated output publication, and pre-computation cost estimation.
- Computation Monitoring & Alerting: Detailed Cloudwatch logs for task tracking and automated alerts for errors or workflow disruptions.
- Intelligent Tracking & Data Lineage: Meticulous tracking of every run (inputs, parameters, tool versions, outputs) eliminates redundant computations by presenting existing results. Enriched metadata is automatically stored for both inputs and outputs, simplifying analysis versioning and enhancing transparency.
Tailored User Experiences
We offer intuitive interfaces catering to diverse scientific and technical personnel:
- Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs): For wet lab scientists and UI-driven users, enabling effortless task submission, workflow selection, and results review without command-line expertise.
- Pre-configured Environments: "Gold standard" Jupyter notebooks or dedicated instances for computationally-oriented scientists, freeing them from environment setup.
- Advanced Command-Line Access & API Specificity: For power users, providing direct access, API for custom workflows (Nextflow, Dagster), and support for optimizing complex HPC considerations (e.g., x86 to ARM recompilation).
Key Platform Components
The Kupsilla HPC Platform is built on a robust, modular, and cloud-native architecture. The diagram below provides a high-level overview of how these key components are integrated to deliver a seamless HPC experience.
- Kupsilla Data Platform (KDP): Proprietary backbone for Web UI, Authorization/Authentication, experiment run storage, and cluster/experiment management APIs.
- EC2 Provisioning: Manages SLURM Head Node, auto-scaling Compute Cluster, and on-demand personal/pre-programmed machines.
- Tiered Storages: Utilizes AWS FSx (high-performance), S3 (standard), and Glacier (long-term archive) for optimal cost and performance.
- Monitoring: Leverages AWS Cloudwatch for comprehensive system and workload monitoring.
Streamlined Model Integration & Operational Efficiency
