Linux Networx and Scali Partner

Supercomputing Solutions to Deliver Greater than 3X Total Application Throughput Increases -- Scali and Linux Networx, The Linux Supercomputing Company, today announced a partnership to bundle Scali MPI Connect with Linux Networx Supersystems. Linux Networx supercomputing architects and the Scali performance team are performance-optimizing Linux Supersystems to power popular industry applications and custom codes. Early benchmarks show more than 3X increases in total application throughput in custom codes with greater than 20% improvement in industrial applications. "Linux Networx is a proven leader in Linux supercomputing and has a reputation for delivering new levels of price/performance and ownership value to its customers," said Jack Kay, CEO of Scali. "The combination of our Scali MPI Connect solution with their application-tuned and integrated systems, will deliver maximum application throughput to today's supercomputing users." "Linux Networx is committed to delivering supercomputing value in the form of production-ready systems that drive new levels of performance while eliminating the complexity of clusters," said Robert "Bo" Ewald, CEO of Linux Networx. "We're pleased to further enhance our Linux Supersystems with the significant application performance improvements delivered by Scali MPI Connect." Linux Supersystems offer leading computational power and design flexibility, while simplifying the complexity of traditional clusters - significantly lowering operational and management costs. Leading supercomputing users across aerospace, automotive/heavy industry, manufacturing and energy sectors, as well as government agencies and national laboratories, are leveraging Linux Supersystems across the most sophisticated computations and popular industry applications. LS Series Supersystems are application-tuned to power maximum Total Application Throughput for popular industry applications. The Supercomputing systems feature a "production-at power-up" system delivery, enabling near-immediate time-to-productivity for supercomputing results. Scali MPI Connect is a fully integrated MPI solution for building high performance clusters. The MPI delivers high bandwidth, low latency performance to clusters through communication libraries that enable high performance execution of applications designed for parallelism and portability.
