 For technical users seeking to achieve breakthrough
performance with open-source computing, the SGI Altix
3000 family takes Linux® to new altitudes of scalability
and performance. SGI Altix 3000 superclusters can scale
up to hundreds of Intel® Itanium® 2 processors with a
built-in SGI® NUMAlinkTM
interconnect fabric that delivers information between
nodes up to 200 times faster than conventional clustering
switches. Each node of an SGI Altix 3000 supercluster
can run a single Linux operating system image over 64
Intel Itanium 2 processors and up to 512GB of memory.
With global shared
memory across cluster nodes, SGI Altix 3000 can
hold more complex geometries of complete workflows in
memory, enabling new application breakthroughs that
traditional Linux clusters or re-purposed e-commerce
UNIX servers can’t tackle. This unprecedented scalability
comes in a fully supported, standard 64-bit Linux
operating system and advanced
development environment specifically optimized for
technical applications. |
