Defining HPC Configurations

Distributed Compute Gateway (DCG) integrates with established on-premises clusters using configurations that you define directly in DCG. Information specified in a DCG configuration includes:

  • Details about the HPC resource where jobs are submitted, such as the domain name of a cluster submit host

  • Client-to-HPC communication protocols

  • File transfer method (from client machine to HPC staging directory)

  • Queues available for simulation jobs

  • File storage information

The Cluster management page allows you to specify information about an HPC resource and set up or import Distributed Compute Gateway (DCG) queues.

The Storage management page allows you to specify file storage locations used for jobs.

To be able to create and manage cluster, storage, and queue configurations, you must be a member of the System Administrators group or a group that has the permissions required to perform these functions. For more information see Creating and Managing User Groups.
