SGI Demonstrates 'Out-Compute to Out-Compete' Technology

Driving home the well-proven maxim of SGI CEO Bob Bishop, "to out-compete, you must out-compute," Silicon Graphics is demonstrating how its compute, storage and visualization solutions are shattering the conventions of high-performance computing (HPC) this week at Supercomputing Conference 2004. An array of new products, news of top industry honors and HPC achievements, and a host of presentations and conference sessions will bring SGI's technology strategy into sharp focus in this annual gathering of the world's most demanding computer users. Defying the accepted norms of traditional HPC solutions, SGI systems are based on the Intel Itanium 2 processors and a 64-bit Linux operating environment. As a result, SGI systems are price/performance leaders that can be deployed rapidly so innovators in government, homeland security, scientific research, pharmaceutical, energy, aerospace and manufacturing markets can address the world's most demanding challenges. Groundbreaking Technology on Display at SGI Booth At the SGI Booth (No. 1311), SC2004 attendees will witness the latest and most advanced compute, storage and visualization products from SGI.
