Los Alamos National Laboratory launched the Open, Composable, Heterogeneous, Adaptable, Management Infrastructure, a.k.a. OCHAMI, a virtual community to improve the management of complex and scalable computing environments.
LANL revealed Tuesday that it formed the open-source community with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, the Swiss National Supercomputing Center, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.
OCHAMI members will share ideas on the architectural direction of the infrastructure, which was modeled in part after the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. The group’s paradigm is designed to ensure agility despite errors and bolster innovation in systems management.
“Open standards are imperative to driving innovation in supercomputing,” said Trish Damkroger, senior vice president and chief product officer of high performance computing, artificial intelligence and laboratories at HPE. “The HPC industry needs a modern, cloud-native data center infrastructure management interface with a simplified user experience that supports legacy tools but is flexible enough to adapt to modern and future features.
