Presentation by Wayne Vieira, SGI
The presentation will cover technical issues regarding SGI's Altix 3000 and
300 HPC systems, which leverage Silicon Graphics' NUMALink technology on
Intel's Itanium2 processors and the Linux operating system, enabling scaling
from 1 to 2048 processors within this high-bandwidth/low-latency
interconnect fabric. Single systems with only 1 copy of the operating
system resident can be as large as 512 processors and 8TB of memory. A true
shared memory multiprocessor system, the Altix series enables
high-performance computer users insight like never before.
Topics to be discussed are:
- SGI NUMAFlex architecture
- Altix3000 system overview
- Altix350 system overview
- Developing applications on large Linux systems
- SGI's Linux development and support strategy
- SGI Altix Visualization System for Linux (VSL) development
Questions will follow.
