SGI ISLE™ User Portal Image of a flowchart.

Anytime, anyplace access to HPC application scheduling and management.

The ISLE User Portal enables users to easily utilize their Linux ISV and 3rd party applications from a platform independent, web-based, browser interface. The ISLE User Portal enables users in HPC environments to more easily and more completely manage their work and interactions between their applications and the workload manager. It increases user productivity and helps to optimize organizations' use of high-performance Linux computing resources. ISLE User Portal is designed to leverage existing system software to maintain compatibility with mainstream high-performance Linux cluster applications and management software. It eliminates changes to a user's environment.

An easy to use job creator wizard allows users to expand the interface to include custom and other third party applications. ISLE User Portal is designed to manage applications in a multi-cluster environment.

ISLE User Portal is part of SGI's ISLE product set which unifies SGI and third-party management applications into a cooperative, cohesive product set for administrators and users. The ISLE product set simplifies development by facilitating interactions among services & applications, and enables control and optimization across an entire computing environment. All ISLE products are designed to be open and extensible. Additional application and system management tool interfaces will be available with each ISLE User Portal release.
