Parallel Works builds ACTIVATE, a control plane for high performance computing and AI infrastructure across on-premises systems, hyperscale clouds, and GPU cloud providers. ACTIVATE provisions and manages compute clusters on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud, on NeoCloud GPU providers such as CoreWeave, Voltage Park, and Lambda, and on existing on-premises schedulers. Teams work from a single login with shared allocations, cost controls and budgets, and workloads that can move between providers without re-onboarding users. ACTIVATE runs in production for Department of Defense high performance computing programs, Federal science agencies, and commercial research organizations, including a FedRAMP High platform authorized at IL5 for Government cloud workloads. Parallel Works spun out of Argonne National Laboratory in 2015 and is headquartered in Chicago. Contact info@parallelworks.com for more information, to schedule a demo, or to discuss partnering.
