CHESS (ClusterTech HPC Environment Software Stack) is a domestic high-performance computing cluster management software independently developed by ClusterTech. It uses a B/S architecture to operate through a browser to achieve unified deployment, management, scheduling, monitoring, alarming, reporting and billing, which turns loosely stacked servers into a consolidated HPC cluster system, while ensuring the security of HPC cluster data. By leveraging the flexible deployment capabilities of clouds, it enables on-demand usage and elastic scalability, simplifying the cluster management. CHESS helps enterprises achieve efficient and cost-effective unified management of complex data clusters. With a single platform and a set of standards, it assists enterprises in achieving efficient deployment, management, monitoring, and scheduling of applications in a multi-cloud environment. This significantly enhances computational capabilities and accelerates application processing.
