Early adopt- ers are now turning to proven commercial turnkey solutions to capitalize upon the open source Linux environment and MPI as the preferred message passing paradigm making GASS improves real-time target, ocean & it possible to go from research to deployment sensor modeling capabilities of Navy ASW without any software changes accelerating the trainers. development cycles. A large class of DOD applications require HPC systems to run simulations based upon complex models demanding the processing power of 100's to 1000's of processing nodes. Memory requirements also increase propor- tionally with the complexity of these problems. Complex real-time signal processing and anal- ysis applications require scalable platforms to meet the requirements of large radar and sonar systems, trainers and simulators. Meeting the challenge of the future, clustering solutions using standard COTS technologies and open Hydra Sonar Systems are incorporated into source software are the best path to offer the Swedish Navy’s Visby class ships hardware and software technology insertion, support and affordable development costs. Rugged Platforms The FastCluster 2000 SERIES features the compute processing density, rugged packag- ing, low power, high availability, outstanding performance, scalable open architecture and clustering technology required to support sonar, radar, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) applications intend- ed for deployment in the harsh and confined environments of shipboard, airborne, and land- mobile platforms.
