High Performance Computing (HPC)

Scale simulations, AI training, and PLM workloads with the power of Azure HPC.

Oakwood helps you run HPC workloads more efficiently by extending and optimizing your environment across cloud and on-premises infrastructure. We enable on-demand scaling, cloud bursting, and high-performance architectures so you can reduce queue times, control costs, and accelerate simulations and engineering workloads.

OUR SERVICES

Service Areas

Extend and optimize your HPC environment to improve performance, reduce queue times, and scale efficiently across on-prem and cloud infrastructure.

Service

Hybrid HPC Architecture & Bursting

Extend your HPC environment into the cloud to handle peak demand without overprovisioning on-prem infrastructure.

  • Integrate on-prem clusters with cloud resources to support existing schedulers and workflows
  • Scale compute capacity on demand to reduce queue times during peak workloads
  • Control costs by using cloud resources only when additional capacity is required
Service

HPC Performance Benchmarking & Tuning

Benchmark and optimize HPC workloads to improve runtime, throughput, and cost across on-prem and cloud environments.

  • Evaluate workload performance across infrastructure options to identify the most efficient compute architecture
  • Identify bottlenecks and tune applications to improve runtime, scaling, and overall throughput
  • Optimize resource utilization to balance performance and cost across different workload types
Service

HPC Migration & Modernization

Migrate HPC workloads to the cloud while maintaining performance, compatibility, and control across your environment.

  • Develop phased migration plans that account for workload dependencies, data movement, and scheduling requirements
  • Refactor and containerize applications to improve portability, scalability, and performance in cloud environments
  • Establish security, compliance, and operational controls to support long-term stability and governance
Service

Managed HPC Services

Operate and support your HPC environment with ongoing monitoring, optimization, and cost control across cloud and hybrid infrastructure.

  • Monitor cluster health, job performance, and system availability to reduce failures and downtime
  • Continuously tune workloads and infrastructure to maintain performance and efficiency over time
  • Manage cost and utilization to improve predictability across dynamic and burst workloads
Solution accelerators background image

Solution accelerators

Our solution accelerators are pre-built modules for various HPC use cases, providing a jumpstart to your Azure HPC environment and reducing time to value.

Hybrid HPC bursting framework

Our team builds hybrid HPC environments that allow your on-prem clusters to burst into Azure using proven configurations for CycleCloud, Slurm, networking, storage, and job orchestration.

HPC optimization and benchmarking toolkit

Oakwood engineers benchmark CPU and GPU workloads, analyze performance bottlenecks, and deliver tuning recommendations that improve speed, efficiency, and cost per job.

HPC migration and readiness blueprint

Our team guides you through HPC to Azure readiness using a structured approach that evaluates applications, data, network architecture, and workload performance drivers.

HPC operational automation library

We streamline HPC operations with prebuilt scripts, pipelines, and automations for environment provisioning, job scheduling, cluster scaling, and workload telemetry.
