SiCortex Named Most Innovative HPC Cluster Solution by HPCwire
Maynard, Mass., November 13, 2007 -- SiCortex, the emerging leader in compact, low power Linux® clusters, today received the Editors’ Choice Award for Most Innovative HPC Cluster Solution in the annual HPCwire Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards, presented at the 2007 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC07), in Reno, Nevada.
The award caps a year in which SiCortex has enjoyed a very positive reception from the HPC industry , including the recent sale and installation of a 5.8 teraflop SC5832 system to the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Lab.
“We knew the time was right for a new breed of HPC system that runs existing cluster codes but breaks through the limits on performance, scale, and power consumption that are limiting the entire industry,” said Dr. John Mucci, CEO of SiCortex. “We are delighted to have these innovations recognized by the editors of HPCwire.”
SiCortex has introduced a new concept in high-performance computing by implementing a complete cluster node on a chip, including six 64-bit processors, multiple memory controllers, a high-performance cluster interconnect and a PCIexpress connection to storage and internetworking. The company’s flagship product, the SC5832, can perform six trillion operations per second in a cabinet that is less than one-third the size of conventional clusters.
SiCortex, the emerging leader in compact, low power Linux® clusters, is dedicated to the proliferation of open teraflop computing to a wide variety of users by providing “Teraflops from Milliwatts.” Founded in 2003 by a respected team of computer industry executives, the company is backed by a number of top tier investors, including Chevron Technology Ventures, Flagship Ventures, JK&B Capital, Polaris Venture Partners and Prism VentureWorks.
