Summary

Rescale has launched a new hardware profile called "HPC+" that enhances computational and interconnect capabilities, coupled with SSD storage, resulting in a substantial improvement in performance. During beta testing, users experienced a 25-40% increase in speed and performance per job, and now, in production, the "HPC+" configuration is offered at a competitive rate of $0.25 per core per hour. This improved efficiency can potentially lower overall Rescale costs compared to other compute profiles. Users can explore this by logging into their accounts on Rescale's website, where resources for setting up simulations are also available. The initiative is led by Joris Poort, the CEO of Rescale, who has a robust background in engineering and product development, with experience at McKinsey & Company and Boeing, and impressive academic credentials from prestigious institutions.
