关于客户
克莱姆森大学是一所主要的赠地、科学和工程导向的研究型大学，在全国公立大学中排名前 25 名。该大学致力于教学和学生的成功，培养一个包容、以学生为中心的社区，其特点是高学术标准、协作文化、学校精神和追求卓越的竞争动力。该大学的 IT 部门克莱姆森计算和信息技术 (CCIT) 提供网络基础设施资源和先进的研究计算能力。 CCIT 通过集成高性能计算 (HPC)、高性能网络、数据可视化、存储架构和中间件来支持一系列先进的计算基础设施。
挑战
克莱姆森大学的 IT 部门克莱姆森计算和信息技术 (CCIT) 在管理快速增长的用户群的工作量方面面临着重大挑战。该部门利用 Palmetto 集群（一个 17,032 个核心、262 TFlop HPC 系统）作为该大学的主要 HPC 资源。该系统被该大学的教职员工、学生和 144 名外部用户（包括其他大学的研究人员和教职人员）大量使用。该集群以“公寓模型”运行，用户可以购买节点以供自己优先使用。然而，CCIT 之前使用的开源 Maui 调度程序无法满足其不断扩大的用户群的可扩展性和可靠性需求。系统经常崩溃，一些高级功能无法正常运行，导致调度程序不可靠。
解决方案
为了应对这些挑战，CCIT 决定采用商业级工作负载管理解决方案。在评估了多家供应商后，他们选择了 Altair 的 PBS Professional®，因为它具有强大的可扩展性和技术支持。 PBS Professional 调度软件能够满足大学的 HPC 需求，提供以前的开源工具无法处理的可靠性和可扩展性。 Altair 的技术团队提供了全面的支持，帮助 CCIT 在购买前了解 PBS Professional 的高级功能，并在安装过程前提供实践培训。成本也是决策过程中的一个关键因素。 Altair 能够提供符合 CCIT 预算的有吸引力的学术定价。 PBS Professional于2011年9月开始实施，支持1,623个节点。如今，节点数量已增加至 1,804 个，PBS Professional 可以轻松扩展以支持快速增长的用户群的更多节点。

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.
