IBM® Spectrum LSF offers high-performance computing (HPC) clusters by using IBM Spectrum LSF as HPC scheduling software. This offering uses open source Terraform-based automation to provision and configure IBM Cloud resources. With simple steps to define configuration properties and use automated deployment, you can build your own HPC clusters in minutes by using your choice of an Intel x86 based VPC virtual server instance profile type for the worker nodes in the cluster. IBM Spectrum LSF also enables configuration for auto scaling, so IBM Spectrum LSF clusters can automatically add and remove worker nodes based on workload specifications. This allows to take full advantage of consumption-based pricing and pay for cloud resources only when they are needed.
