The HPC problems we solve

  1. HPC queue stuck overnight with no one watching

    A senior engineer who knows Slurm picks up the page, finds the drained nodes or hung controller, and gets jobs flowing before morning.

  2. Your admins on call every weekend

    Our engineers take nights, weekends and holidays on the rotation with agreed response times, so your admins get their weekends back.

  3. A full parallel file system killing week-long runs

    Alerts on capacity, quotas and metadata load with a runbook for each, so the page comes before jobs start failing on write.

  4. Pages that nobody knows how to handle

    Runbooks written for your cluster, alerts routed to the right person and an escalation path both teams follow, so response starts with a fix.

  5. GPU nodes dropping out mid-job

    The responding engineer drains the node, checks drivers, ECC errors and thermals, requeues affected jobs and opens a hardware case if needed.

  6. The same node failures every month

    Recurring failures are tracked across incidents and the engineer fixes the pattern, whether firmware, a bad image or a scheduler setting, in hours you approve.

We connect you directly with the Senior HPC Expert, but we do a couple more things.
To overcome common pitfalls, an architect brings in perspective.
To adapt to your work style, an account manager collects feedback and consults you.
To be ready for the first incident, we start with an initial setup: access, alert routing and runbooks.
To give you clarity and control we share a detailed work hours log.

Case studies

What our clients say

  • They are very knowledgeable in their area of expertise.
    Mordechai Danielov
  • Good consultants execute on task and deliver as planned. Better consultants overdeliver on their tasks. Great consultants become full technology partners and provide expertise beyond their scope. I am happy to call MeteorOps my technology partners as they overdelivered, provide high-level expertise and I recommend their services as a very happy customer.
    Gil Zellner
  • We got to meet Michael from MeteorOps through one of our employees. We needed DevOps help and guidance and Michael and the team provided all of it from the very beginning. They did everything from dev support to infrastructure design and configuration to helping during Production incidents like any one of our own employees. They actually became an integral part of our organization which says a lot about their personal attitude and dedication.

Frequently asked questions

What is HPC on-call support?

HPC On-Call Support is having senior HPC engineers answer your production incidents around the clock, with agreed response times, runbooks and a fix for the root cause. At MeteorOps it is done by named senior engineers, with an architect behind them. How on-call support works at MeteorOps.

What does an HPC expert work on?

A MeteorOps HPC expert works on running Slurm, MPI and GPU workloads on clusters that schedule fairly, scale with demand and keep expensive nodes busy, hands-on in your own systems and tools. See what the HPC practice covers.

How much does HPC on-call support cost?

MeteorOps bills HPC on-call support as a monthly retainer for the coverage, plus the hours spent on incidents and follow-up fixes. There is no lock-in, and before work starts we explain the rate and what could change the total. See plans and pricing.

How quickly can an HPC expert start?

Usually within days. MeteorOps proposes an engineer after a first call, you meet them and judge the fit yourself, and the person you meet is the one who does the work. Book a free 30-minute consultation to start.

HPC On-Call Support or a full-time HPC engineer?

A 24/7 rotation needs at least four or five HPC engineers to be sustainable. On-call support gives you that coverage without hiring a rotation, and your own team stops carrying every night and weekend. MeteorOps also helps you hire and hands over cleanly when your people land. Talk it through with us.

Is on-call support the right way to work with an HPC expert?

It depends on the work. MeteorOps also offers HPC consulting, HPC outsourcing, HPC staff augmentation, HPC solutions, HPC compliance or HPC support, and you can switch models as the work changes, keeping the same engineer.
