spinUp
Optimize your existing
HPC infrastructure
Your infrastructure may already have the capacity you need. spinUp identifies what is holding it back and fixes it — through expert assessment, code optimization, and targeted tuning. No new hardware required.
RIGHT FOR YOU IF:
- Your jobs run slower than expected
- Your cluster is underutilized
- You want to maximize ROI before committing to new hardware.
- You need clarity on what is actually causing the bottleneck
WHAT IS spinUp
Diagnosis before prescription
Before you invest in new hardware, spinUp runs a comprehensive diagnosis of your current environment. We identify the actual source of underperformance — whether the issue is scheduler configuration, storage bottlenecks, inefficient MPI patterns, or oversized allocations — and fix it. Most HPC environments have significant untapped capacity. spinUp extracts it without capital expenditure.
Why start with consulting? Sometimes you need better insights, not more hardware. Our Tier 1 consulting delivers quick wins and measurable ROI without any capital investment — and tells you honestly whether new hardware is actually what you need.
spinUp VS spinBuild — HOW TO CHOOSE
Choose spinUp when
You have existing infrastructure that is not performing to its potential. Your workloads have grown, but the hardware has not changed. You want a diagnosis before a proposal.
Choose spinBuild when
Your workloads have fundamentally outgrown what optimization can solve. You are starting from scratch or need a system built for a new research program.
HOW IT WORKS
Every engagement starts with a diagnosis
We do not arrive with a solution. We arrive with questions.
Assessment
A comprehensive audit of your HPC environment covering hardware, software, storage, networking, schedulers, and actual cluster usage—including workflows, active users, usage patterns, and job behavior. We identify every bottleneck before making changes.
Optimization
Targeted fixes are applied in order of impact — code tuning, MPI configuration, storage I/O patterns, scheduler configuration, policies, and resource allocation. We prioritize quick wins.
Validation
Rigorous testing across your actual workloads to confirm every improvement and ensure stability before handing the environment back to you.
Ongoing Support
Continuous monitoring and support beyond the initial engagement. We stay until the infrastructure performs the way it should — consistently.
WHAT WE DELIVER
What is included in spinUp
Every spinUp engagement delivers the same five core outputs — tailored to your specific environment and workloads.
Infrastructure Assessment
Comprehensive audit of your current HPC setup to identify performance bottlenecks, wasted capacity, and areas for immediate improvement.
Code and Workflow Optimization
Fine-tuning of job scripts, schedulers, MPI configurations, and I/O patterns to maximize throughput across your actual workloads.
Storage and Network Tuning
Optimization of filesystems, parallel storage, and interconnects for faster data access and better utilization of existing bandwidth.
Ongoing Engineering Support
Continuous monitoring and support to sustain peak performance beyond the initial engagement and adapt to changing workload demands.
Not sure spinUp is right for you?
spinBuild
When your workloads have outgrown what optimization can solve, spinBuild designs and deploys a new HPC system built precisely for your needs.
