HPC Services staff Jackie Scoggins and Michael Jennings gave a well-attended presentation on  Node Health Check (NHC) software today at the Adaptive Computing booth at SC12. NHC, an open source project developed by Jennings, works in conjunction with Adaptive Computing's Moab job scheduler and their open source Torque resource manager to check the health of compute nodes in order to ensure clean job runs on large production HPC systems.
