INDUSTRY

At the Intel Developers Forum (IDF), Tyan Computer Corp demonstrated a personal supercomputing cluster using Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors 5300 Series (Clovertown) on a Tyan Typhoon personal supercomputer, based on cluster design and technology. In addition to hardware partners, Tyan is partnering with Microsoft to deliver next generation personal supercomputing platforms, showcased at the IDF Tech Insights, later this year using Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. The IDF Tech Insights demonstration is a cooperative effort between Tyan and several leading HPC technology companies: Intel Corporation, Mellanox Technologies Ltd., Wolfram Research Inc., and Microsoft Corporation. The hardware combination of Tyan's cluster system design technologies, Intel's processor technologies and Mellanox's industry leading InfiniBand capabilities showcases the outstanding performance and efficiency personal supercomputing can achieve when running Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 and Wolfram's gridMathematica. "Tyan works closely with our HPC partners to design and integrate the best technologies to meet our customers' computational needs. With Intel, Microsoft, Mellanox and Wolfram, Tyan delivers the latest in performance and efficiency to a wide range of HPC users." said Dr. Symon Chang, CEO of Tyan Computer Corporation. "Tyan is leading the industry by delivering turnkey cluster systems design and integration to our customers so they can to unleash their own capabilities and accelerate their time to solutions and insight." "High-performance computing, which was once confined to the large government labs and research institutions, is becoming as readily available to designers and engineers as desktop programs," said Kyril Faenov, general manager of high performance computing at Microsoft Corp. "Today's demonstration proves that off-the-shelf, standards-based computing technologies can empower people with new approaches for design, safety and profitability. Microsoft is working with the industry to help make HPC technology more mainstream by delivering cost advantages and ease of use along with supercomputing performance to both large and small organizations."
