Welcome to HYPERCOMP's introductory tour of LSF , the world's only comprehensive load sharing enterprise computing infrastructure based on UNIX workstations.

Enthusiastic LSF-Users

"This is really breakthrough technology. LSF gives you total control of your computing resources, so you can optimize for batch, parallel or interactive processing. A lot of people won't believe this until they see it for themselves."

Dan Minor, Pratt & Whitney

"LSF has reduced the response time for some of our aplications by 30-40%, and allowed us to take better advantage of our heterogeneous computing infrastructure. We are basing our corporate-wide vision of a distributed computing environment on LSF."

Lorraine Galvin, BNR/Northern Telecom

"LSF does two things for us. First it helps our design engineers to get jobs done faster because they can now get to cycles they were not able to access before. Secondly, the resource accounting in LSF helps management to keep tabs on the system for planning decisions."

Joe Orcino, Western Digital
