The HyperTransport Technology Consortium, a nonprofit industry organization that manages and promotes low-latency HyperTransport technology, announced eight companies have become Consortium members. The new industry members include CPU Technology, Inc., Cray Inc., Dolphin Technology, Inc., Fabric7 Systems, Inc., HDL Design House, Iwill Corporation, Mitsui Zosen System Research, Inc. and Triolin, Inc. "This wave of new memberships demonstrates the strong rate of adoption that HyperTransport technology is enjoying throughout the industry and internationally," said David Rich, president of the HyperTransport Technology Consortium. "HyperTransport continues to expand its presence in the supercomputing, embedded, and data center sectors, and, with its market-enabling HTX connectivity standard, HyperTransport technology is becoming the foundation for a new generation of high-performance semiconductor and peripheral subsystems for server clustering and compute-intensive applications." "HyperTransport technology is a key component for developing high performance computing platforms such as Cray's XT3 and XD1 supercomputers which require very low latencies for interprocessor communications," said Dr. Steve Scott, chief technology officer, Cray Inc. "We look forward to participating in the further evolution of HyperTransport technology as members of the Consortium."
