Rocketcalc announced today the Saturn 270 HE personal cluster with sixteen AMD Opteron™ processor cores. Available with up to 64 GB total RAM and 8 Gbps total network bandwidth, Saturn brings serious 64-bit cluster computing power to your desk in a compact, quiet and affordable package. Quiet, Cool, Efficient and Productive Saturn features the power-efficient, high-performance, 64-bit Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor Model 270 HE. Powered from a standard wall outlet, the Saturn chassis provides significant airflow without generating excessive noise. Rocketcalc's highly efficient Saturn systems are turn-key, ready-to-run GNU/Linux clusters with SuSE™ Linux and a wide selection of available performance-tuned popular HPC software. Designed from the beginning as a personal computing cluster, the Saturn series addresses the power and noise constraints of an office or bench-side setting without compromising the requirements of a high performance computing application. A comprehensive selection of available optimized HPC applications and simple, secure web-based access tools make Saturn remarkably productive and easy-to-use right out of the box. As easy to manage as a traditional workstation, Saturn sets a new standard for high-performance computing versatility. “The dual-core Saturn brings an unprecedented level of cluster computing power to the workstation. The AMD Opteron processor provides proven high performance, high efficiency, and affordability. Our customers agree it is an amazing architecture,” said Dr. Bryan Lewis, general manager at Rocketcalc. “The low power consumption and industry-leading application performance of the AMD Opteron processor is ideal for enterprise-class data centers and at the same time is driving innovations like Rocketcalc personal cluster systems,” said Patrick Patla, director of Server/Workstation marketing at AMD. “Rocketcalc is taking the concept of clustered systems for high-performance computing applications directly to the work area and empowering individuals working on complex problems with 64-bit capability that is cool, quiet and simple to manage.”
