T-Platforms Enters the Indian HPC Market
T-Platforms and Digital Waves, a leading Indian IT solutions company, have become partners. As an exclusive and authorized representative of T-Platforms in India, Digital Waves will not only sell and implement the Russian solutions for high-performance computing, but also provide complete technical support to the local customers.
“Partnership with Digital Waves is a great step forward to introduction of Russian supercomputer technologies to foreign markets. We have already made ourselves known in the CIS, started acting in Europe and Africa, and now we are entering the Asian market. In our view it is an evidence of the Russian supercomputer technologies being competitive on the international HPC market”, says Mikhail Kozhevnikov, T-Platforms Vice President.
According to the agreement, Digital Waves will offer the following solutions by T-Platforms holding: blade systems T-Blade 1.1 and T-Blade 2.0, PeakCell S server based on 9-core PowerXCell processors, and Clusterx software stack for high-performance computing systems. All these products were developed and manufactured by T-Platforms.
The systems of T-Blade family were developed by T-Platforms specifically for high-performance computing. They are used as computing nodes of Russia’s 2nd most powerful supercomputer and can boast a highest computing density in the world. T-Blade 1.1 system chassis incorporates the computing power of 20 quad-core Intel® Xeon® 55хх (‘Nehalem’) processors or six-core AMD Opteron 24xx (‘Istanbul’) processors in a compact 5U enclosure, to give up to 9.98 TFlops of peak performance in a standard 42U rack. T-Blade 2.0 is the 2nd generation of T-Platforms blade platforms designed for building compute systems with petascale level of performance. T-Blade 2.0 provides peak performance of up to 3TFlops in a 7U enclosure and up to 18TFlops in a standard 42U rack.
PeakCell S is a server based on PowerXCell 8i 9-core processor. The server has impressive peak performance of 204.8 GFlops for double precision operations and 409.6 GFlops for single precision operations, packed in а convenient 1U form factor. PeakCell Server is an ideal platform for executing the most challenging jobs in molecular dynamics, computational chemistry, seismic exploration, medical imaging and security provisioning.
Clustrx is a software stack for high-performance computing developed as the ultimate middleware between a supercomputer platform and an end-user application. Most of Clustrx has been programmed from scratch to eliminate critical limitations of legacy management and monitoring systems (such Nagios, Ganglia,Torque, etc), and to create a simple yet reliable environment for supercomputer access. Strong emphasis was made on improved utilization of computing power and better manageability of supercomputing systems of different sizes, from ‘personal clusters’ to Petascale systems.
