BCM on Anunna
Computing clusters are usually managed by cluster managing software. The B4F cluster uses the cluster management sofware from Bright . BCM is currently is a popular choice for compute clusters of any size, including some very large ones. Bright is a spin-off from ClusterVision, the company that aided in implementing the B4F cluster. Furthermore, ClusterVision and Dell have engaged in a strategic alliance, and BCM is currently very often the default cluster manager software in Dell-based clusters.
