Advanced Cluster Platform Provides Top Performance for Enhanced Productivity
SGI Altix XE servers and clusters deliver top value and price/performance, based on the winning combination of Intel Dual-Core and Quad-Core Xeon Processor-based architecture and SGI's expertise in designing and delivering the most advanced High Performance Computing (HPC) systems on the market today. The SGI Altix XE systems support a super-fast 1333MHz front-side bus, up to 32GB of memory per compute node, and an ultra-dense architecture that packs up to sixteen core nodes in a slim 1U form factor. Add to this support for DDR InfiniBand, quad-core processors, fully-buffered DDR2 memory, and an option to drive clusters with an Altix XE240 head node for advanced extensibility, redundancy, and I/O rich-features and you have the most powerful cluster solutions available.
SGI Altix XE runs industry-standard operating systems, with a choice of Novell, SUSE, Linux Enterprise Server, Red Hat, Enterprise Linux, and Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 *. In addition, the SGI ProPack 5 for Linux OS option includes resource management tools and enhanced development libraries like Flexible File Input/Output (FFIO) which provides programmers with fine-grained control of I/O transfers to maximize performance. The Altix XE product line supports a broad selection of development tools and applications from Intel, other third parties, and the open source Linux community. Finally, when deployed in combination with the SGI Altix family of Intel Itanium 2 Processor-based servers, the SGI Altix XE product line provides the industry's best end-to-end solution for demanding workflow requirements.
