Write once, run anywhere: With Fuzzball Federate users can now define and deliver workloads on-prem and then scale them in the cloud without modification.

ATLANTA, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SC’24 — As high performance computing (HPC) teams move more workloads to cloud-native environments to take advantage of scale and agility, orchestration of jobs across on-premises and cloud environments slows progress. CIQ Fuzzball Federate, unveiled today in early access at SC24, addresses these challenges and enables researchers to use a comprehensive management platform to define and execute important HPC, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workloads across disparate and disconnected resources.

Fuzzball Federate is the third leg of the stool within the Fuzzball ecosystem, furthering our goal of delivering the most comprehensive and complete performance computing platform for research institutions and enterprises alike.

For example, with Fuzzball Federate, researchers can now define and deliver workloads to unified systems and then connect them with AWS clusters to help scale them in the cloud without modification. Conversely, workloads can be prototyped in the cloud before the organization commits to a capital expenditure for local, production resources. Either way, Fuzzball ensures workflows execute repeatably, reliably and performantly, regardless of the underlying infrastructure.

“With Fuzzball, researchers no longer need a Ph.D. in infrastructure to manage their complex HPC and AI/ML workloads in hybrid environments,” said Gregory Kurtzer, founder and CEO of CIQ. “Fuzzball Federate is the third leg of the stool within the Fuzzball ecosystem, furthering our goal of delivering the most comprehensive and complete performance computing platform for research institutions and enterprises alike. We’re excited to provide the first glimpses of Fuzzball Federate at SC24 in Atlanta, and we invite all attendees to come take a look and give us your feedback.”

*Fuzzball: Substrate, Orchestrate and Federate*

CIQ’s Fuzzball, first released in August 2023, is a modern, performance-intense compute platform that simplifies the creation and deployment of complex HPC and AI/ML workloads. Running on top of Kubernetes, it is API based and provides an easy-to-use graphical interface to automate the provisioning and management of the necessary infrastructure to run these jobs.

The infrastructure management layer of individual Fuzzball clusters has two main components: Fuzzball Substrate, which delivers a custom container runtime and resource manager, and Fuzzball Orchestrate, which manages and schedules complex, multi-step workloads and data ingress and egress.

Today at SC24, CIQ is unveiling the third component: Fuzzball Federate. It works with Substrate and Orchestrate to unify and provide seamless access and management of compute resources across on-prem clusters and cloud computing regions.

In a federated Fuzzball environment, users define and submit workflows with the same web user interface and command-line interface they would use in a single Orchestrate deployment. However, where workflows submitted directly to an Orchestrate cluster may run only on the resources available to that single cluster, workflows submitted to a Federate cluster may run on any of the Orchestrate clusters joined to the federation. These Orchestrate clusters may be dynamically provisioned cloud resources (e.g., running compute jobs on AWS EC2) or local, on-prem compute clusters.

Federate evaluates the CPU, memory, accelerator and storage requirements of the workflow against the resources available in each attached Orchestrate cluster and dispatches the workflow to an appropriate cluster for execution. The Orchestrate cluster then provisions the necessary resources (in cloud environments) and dispatches individual compute jobs via Substrate.

Single-cluster deployments of Orchestrate are still supported, and an existing Orchestrate deployment can be joined with additional deployments in a federation at any time.

What to Look for in an Online GLP-1 Provider: Meant Outlines Five Questions Worth Asking Before Signing Up

Published

November 7, 2026

By

MANASSAS, Va., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As more telehealth companies offer GLP-1 care, the options can look alike from the outside, and telling them apart takes more than a glance at a landing page. Meant is sharing five questions consumers can ask when choosing an online GLP-1 provider, along with how it approaches each one.

Five Questions Worth Asking

Who makes the clinical decisions? A trustworthy provider should be clear about which licensed clinicians review each person’s information. At Meant, those decisions are made by licensed providers through its clinical partner, OpenLoop Health.Is there a real evaluation first? Look for a health-history review before anything is prescribed, and for plain language that a prescription is never guaranteed. Meant’s online assessment covers health history, current medications, and goals.Can the company’s credentials be checked? Independent certifications are one signal consumers can verify for themselves. Meant displays the seal for its LegitScript certification on its website.Is it clear who fills prescriptions? Providers should be open about the pharmacies they work with and whether those pharmacies are licensed in the United States.Is ongoing support spelled out, limits included? Good providers explain what follow-up looks like and who handles which questions. Meant pairs care with an optional Care Coach, and medical questions go to the care team.

A certification is a transparency signal, not a government approval or a promise about results, and no checklist replaces a conversation with a licensed clinician. Meant does not diagnose or prescribe, and treatment is not guaranteed for every applicant.

Take a Closer Look

Consumers who want to see how the assessment, clinical oversight, and coaching fit together can visit Meant‘s website and compare the details against the questions above.

About Meant

Meant is a health and wellness technology company focused on personalized GLP-1 weight-care support delivered through telehealth. The platform combines an online clinical assessment, licensed oversight through OpenLoop Health, Care Coach support, and supplemental wellness resources. Meant does not itself diagnose or prescribe; clinical decisions are made by its clinical partners. Learn more at meant.health.

Spanning summer and autumn across three successive photography tours, the “Picturesque Anhui • Imaging Anhui” 2026 Anhui Photography Season officially wrapped up on November 4. Co-hosted by the Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP), the Anhui Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and the Foreign Affairs Office of Anhui Provincial People’s Government, the event drew 116 photographers from 38 countries and regions. They visited 46 distinctive cultural and tourism attractions across five cities: Hefei, Chizhou, Anqing, Huangshan and Xuancheng. Through their lenses, they presented Anhui’s landscapes, cultural heritage and vibrant everyday life to the world.

Looking back on the three sessions: The first session kicked off in Hefei. Photographers documented the city’s innovation-driven urban landscape as well as the picturesque scenery and intangible cultural heritage of Chizhou’s ancient villages. The second session took them deep into Huangshan and Anqing. They explored time-honored Huizhou villages, magnificent mountains and Huangmei Opera culture, immersing themselves in Huizhou traditions and the cultural charm of the Yangtze River region in western Anhui. The concluding third session was held in Huangshan and Xuancheng, focusing on brilliant autumn hues, Huizhou‑style ancient architecture, and the traditional craftsmanship behind the Four Treasures of the Study.

From lush summer greens to rich autumn colours, the photographers produced more than 11,000 high‑resolution photographs. Reflecting the unique perspectives of international participants, these images will be disseminated globally in diverse forms. They will help tell compelling stories of Anhui’s cultural tourism and further boost the province’s international profile.
