This paper introduces an intelligent integrated management platform developed by itself to manage high-performance computers equipped with board management controller (BMC) functions, and presents large-scale virtual High Performance Computing (HPC) testbeds and experimental results to verify this platform. Intelligent integrated management platforms can monitor and control the hardware sensors of existing high-performance computers using an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) to communicate with the BMC. In addition, a separate agent module operated within the controller was developed and applied to expand the function and performance of the BMC in a high performance computer developed in Korea. In this paper, we introduced an intelligent integrated management platform, built 1,200 virtual HPC testbeds, and verified their functions after linking them to the same integrated management platform as the actual physical server.
