About Us

Making HPC Management Accessible to Everyone

TULPAR was born to turn the installation and operation of high-performance computing clusters from weeks of specialist work into a minutes-long web experience. We bring proven HPC components together behind a single modern panel.

HPC, ORCHESTRATED.

Who We Are

We are engineers from the HPC trenches: people who build clusters, rescue nodes at midnight, and wrestle with kickstart and slurm.conf. We built TULPAR to solve the problems we lived through ourselves and turned it into an enterprise product — because a good cluster shouldn't be held back by a shortage of specialists.

01 / TULPAR

Our Mission

To give researchers and system administrators their time back for computing. By bringing powerful but complex tools like Slurm, Warewulf, LDAP, NTP and DNS into one panel, we free HPC operations from SSH and CLI sprawl.

02 / TULPAR

Our Vision

To become the reference platform in enterprise HPC management: built around a Docker-native, REST-API-first core with no vendor lock-in; delivering the same experience at every scale, from closed networks and public institutions to university labs and production clusters.

300+REST API endpoints

25Hexagonal v1 modules

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Everything you need to know about installation, licensing and scaling is here.

How is TULPAR licensed?

TULPAR is an enterprise product offered under a commercial license. Licensing is annual, based on your cluster scale and the support coverage you need; every license includes the full feature set — there is no feature gating. Contact us through the contact page for a quote.

How long does installation take and what do I need?

An EL9-based head server is enough. tulpar-preflight.sh prepares the prerequisites, install.sh brings up the whole stack; you then enter the admin password, NTP, LDAP and SLURM settings in the web wizard. A typical installation completes in minutes.

Does it work with my existing Slurm cluster?

TULPAR talks to Slurm over the slurmrestd REST API and falls back to the CLI automatically, providing a stable, version-independent interface. Head Slurm components run natively on the host (dnf/systemd) and share the same repository and version as the compute nodes.

Can it be installed in an air-gapped environment without internet access?

Yes. RPM repositories travel with the product, the Slurm package repository can be imported as a GPG-signed offline bundle, and container images are loaded with docker load. Every component works on a closed network, including node installation, monitoring and central logging.
