Russian Supercomputers Reach South Africa
T-Platforms and the Centre for High Performance Computing of South Africa (CHPC) have signed a letter of intent. The document reflects the parties mutual interest in use of T-Platforms supercomputer systems in CHPC projects. Notably, it is T-Platforms' 2nd letter signed with foreign partners - recently the company has signed a letter of interest with the largest Finnish supercomputer centre CSC - IT Center for Science.
T-Platforms, the leading Russian supercomputer developer and manufacturer, and South Africa’s largest supercomputer centre CHPC (the Centre for High Performance Computing) have signed a letter of intent presupposing further multilateral cooperation. The CHPC expresses strong interest in T-Platforms latest developments and readiness to use T-Blade 2 - a new petascale HPC platform - in its future projects. This blade-system has drawn the CHPC specialists` interest by a number of key features, such as extremely high computing density and performance along with low power consumption.
In order to provide high-level integration and timely support of T-Platforms supercomputer systems in South Africa the Russian company plans to engage one of the local South African IT-companies in cooperation. T-Platforms is ready to provide this organization’s specialists, as well as those of the CHPC`s, with knowledge of designing, installing and supporting T-Platforms supercomputer systems and to engage the companies` engineers in the work on real supercomputer installation projects on T-Platforms customer sites in Russia . It would help the African partners promote T-Platforms` supercomputer solutions on the continent.
In the framework of cooperation, T-Platforms is also ready to grant CHPC access to its in-house developed petascale supercomputer equipment with the aim to assess scalability of CHPC software on this equipment.
The Centre for High Performance Computing has become the 2nd foreign organization with which T-Platforms documents mutual interest in further cooperation. Recently the company has signed a similar paper with the largest Finnish supercomputer center CSC - IT Center for Science. The burst of interest in Russian supercomputer technologies is caused by release of T-Blade 2 innovative platform that was recognized as one of the most advanced developments of 2009. Therefore, it once again confirms that T-Platforms developments meet the highest international standards and the company puts on a claim for a place amongst the world’s leading supercomputer vendors.
