  • CRAY-2 Design Allows Many Types of Users to Solve Problems That Cannot Be Solved with Any Other Computers
    Cray Research's mission is to lead in the development and marketingof high-performancesystems that make a unique contribution to the markets they serve. For close toa decade, Cray Research has been the industry leader in large-scale computer systems. Today, the majority of supercomputers installed worldwide are Cray systems. These systems are used In advanced research laboratories around the world and have gained strong acceptance in diverse industrial environments. No other manufacturer has Cray Research's breadth of success and experience in supercomputer development. The company's initial product, the GRAY-1 Computer System, was first installed in 1978. The CRAY-1 quickly established itself as the standard of value for large-scale computers and was soon recognized as the first commercially successful vector processor. For some time previously, the potential advantagee af vector processing had been understood, but effective Dractical imolementation had eluded com~uterarchitects. The CRAY-1 broke that barrier, and today vect~rization'techni~uesare used commonly by scientists and engineers in a widevariety of disciplines. With its significant innovations in architecture and technology, the GRAY-2 Computer System sets the standard for the next generation of supercomputers. The CRAY-2 design allows many types of users to solve problems that cannot be solved with any other computers. The GRAY-2 provides an order of magnitude increase in performanceaver the CRAY-1 at an attractive price/performance ratio. Introducing the CRAY-2 Computer System The CRAY-2 Computer System sets the standard for the next generation of supercomputers. It is characterized by a large Common Memory (256 million 64-bit words), four Background Processors, a clock cycle of 4.1 nanoseconds (4.1 billionths of a second) and liquid immersion cooling.

  • More Robust So That They Can Be Used Alongside Or Instead of HP-UX
    the Availability Digest www.availabilitydigest.com HP’s Project Odyssey – Migrating Mission Critical to x86 March 2012 HP’s Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking (ESSN) Business Unit markets two lines of servers – Proliant servers (acquired from Compaq) and Integrity servers. Proliant servers are based on the Intel x86 Xeon processor and support Windows and Linux operating systems. Integrity servers are Itanium-based and support HP mission-critical operating systems – HP-UX, NonStop, and OpenVMS. Both Proliant and Integrity servers are available either as blades for HP’s BladeSystem or as rack- mounted servers. Integrity servers are also available as Superdome 2 blades. Within ESSN, the Business Critical Systems Division (BCS) focuses on delivering mission critical solutions to the market including Integrity, NonStop and scale-up x86 solutions (ProLiant DL980). On November 22, 2011, HP announced1 a major new initiative dubbed “Project Odyssey.” It is intended to extend the mission-critical features of HP-UX from Itanium blades to Windows and Linux x86 blades. Project Odyssey raises many questions for those involved with HP’s current highly available operating systems – HP-UX, NonStop, and OpenVMS. In this article, these concerns are explored. Martin Fink, senior vice president and general manager of Business Critical Systems at HP, gladly offered his insights in a one-on-one interview. His comments, interspersed throughout the article, are significantly abridged but hopefully capture his intent.2 Project Odyssey The motivation for Project Odyssey was expressed by Martin in HP’s press release: “Clients have been asking us to expand the mission-critical experience that is delivered today with HP-UX on Integrity to an x86-based infrastructure.

    QuickSpecs HP NC360m Dual Port 1GbE BL-c Adapter Overview The HP NC360m is a ProLiant c-Class BladeSystem network adapter providing two Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single mezzanine card utilizing only a maximum of 1.6 watts. With the addition of the NC360m, ProLiant c-Class customers now have the choice of an HP dual port network adapter that uses either an Intel or Broadcom controller. The NC360m is designed for applications requiring additional Gigabit Ethernet ports than those provided on the server. It is ideal for virtualization, security, server consolidation, network segmentation, and other BladeSystem applications requiring additional network port density. Tested and proven to meet demanding BladeSystem standards, the NC360m ships with the advanced server features that ProLiant customers have come to expect, such as support for failover and load balancing, TCP/IP checksum offloading, large send offloading, Wake-on-LAN, jumbo frames, VLAN tagging, and much more.
