The new era for performance-intensive computing

Fuzzball streamlines and optimizes high-performance computing (HPC) workload design and execution.

  • A user-friendly GUI for designing, editing, and executing HPC jobs
  • Comprehensive control and automation of all HPC tasks via CLI
  • Automated data ingress and egress with full compliance logs
  • Native integration with GPUs and both on-prem and cloud storage on-prem and cloud storage
  • Human-readable, portable workflow files that execute anywhere

Why choose Fuzzball?

CIQ’s Fuzzball modernizes traditional HPC with an API-first, container-optimized architecture. Operating on Kubernetes, it provides all the security, performance, stability, and convenience found in modern software and infrastructure. 

Fuzzball not only abstracts the infrastructure layer but also automates the orchestration of complex workflows, driving greater efficiency and collaboration. Plug it into your existing orchestration and automation, build your own SDKs, or simply point-and-click.

User-friendly interface

Build performance-intensive workflows directly in a web-based GUI, eliminating the need for complex command-line interactions.

Automated resource provisioning

Dynamically allocate compute resources based on real-time workload needs, optimizing performance and reducing costs.

Container-first architecture

Enhance security, portability, and performance with Fuzzball's container-native design, fully compatible with existing enterprise technologies.

Integrated data management

Seamlessly orchestrate data workflows with full traceability and security, removing the manual burden of data management.

On-premise and cloud capable

Manage your resources wherever they reside—be it on-premise, in the public cloud, or across private clouds.

Fully automatable

Integrate Fuzzball into your CI/CD pipelines with API-driven automation for streamlined job and resource deployment.

Fuzzball in action:

Building workflows with ease

Fuzzball’s browser-based workflow builder is designed for usability and standardization. Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or new to performance-intensive computing, you can build, manage, and reuse workflows with just a few clicks:

Step 1: Create a new workflow

Import from a YAML file, copy a previous workflow, or start from scratch with a built-in template.

Step 2: Define your jobs

Parameterize and customize every step of your workflow to match the needs of your HPC job.

Step 3: Customize your environment

Specify infrastructure requirements, from instance sizing to storage volumes, ensuring your workflow runs efficiently.

Step 4: Run, share, and reuse

Fuzzball workflows are modular and portable. You can run them on any Fuzzball clusters. Create templates, save your workflows, and share them with your team.

The data and results from one workflow can be the input to another workflow. Chain, sequence, and customize your workloads all within Fuzzball.

Get auditable and compliant data ingress and egress

With Fuzzball, your research data becomes an integrated part of your audit trail for compliance. Traditional HPC environments require manual data replication and storage volume management. Fuzzball has the entire process automated.

  • Data is accessible only to the workflow itself
  • Access to data is controlled by RBAC
  • Any time data is touched, it’s logged
  • No more risk of exposing sensitive data to HPC users
  • Get data from any internal system as well as cloud-based systems, like Amazon S3

Modern research demands modern solutions

Today's research demands computing power that legacy HPC simply cannot provide. These outdated systems, rooted in 30-year-old designs, fall short when it comes to supporting the modern workloads of researchers, including artificial intelligence and large-scale data processing. 

Fuzzball addresses these challenges head-on, offering a performance-intensive computing platform that integrates seamlessly with modern hardware and software. Get secure and efficient research operations with full reproducibility on Fuzzball.
