Lenovo Intelligent Computing Orchestration (LiCO)
Whether your goal is to reduce the complexity of using a massive HPC cluster, or to simplify the development of AI applications, LiCO provides a simplified, intuitive interface that puts your cluster resources at your fingertips. From academic research to enterprise data centers, LiCO accelerates HPC and AI by eliminating complexity for nontechnical users.
What is LiCO
AI clusters made easy
LiCO software from Lenovo provides a graphical environment to simplify the use of clustered compute resources for AI development. LiCO provides a single interface to deploy, monitor and manage AI workloads, abstracting the complexity of the cluster from users.
Optimized for the Lenovo ThinkSystem portfolio with the latest Intel® Scalable® processors and NVIDIA® datacenter accelerators, LiCO enables the infrastructure to be used more effectively, flexibly and efficiently for AI development.
Put AI where it fits you
Data science is a major initiative in both research institutions and enterprise, and with versions to support running AI workloads on either HPC or Kubernetes clusters, LiCO allows the same ease-of-use access and infrastructure efficiency in the environment that best fits your organization’s needs.
LiCO provides clients the flexibility to deploy a dedicated cluster for AI, converge AI workloads onto an HPC cluster, or leverage a Kubernetes cluster to consolidate application development into a single infrastructure environment.
LiCO benefits
Clusters simplified
LiCO abstracts the complexity of AI software stack setup and deployment on a cluster, so users can easily request the resources they need and quickly submit their AI workloads to the right infrastructure. LiCO lets AI users spend more time on the data science, and less on computer science.
Administrators also benefit with LiCO, reducing the effort needed to train users to access the cluster, while driving higher infrastructure utilization through efficient workload management.
Driving AI results
LiCO accelerates AI development efforts by enabling users to leverage all available cluster resources. Data Scientists and Data Engineers can deploy training jobs with different hyperparameters in parallel and monitor jobs in process, driving higher AI development productivity.
Integrated AI tools including Lenovo AI Studio, Lenovo Accelerated AI templates, and Jupyter notebook access allow more users to work on AI model development, with tools that enable both new users and the most experienced Data Scientists.
