Cray Inc. and ScaleMP will offer joint solutions based on the Cray CX1 deskside supercomputer and ScaleMP’s vSMP Foundation. Available immediately, the joint solution will target the high-performance computing (HPC) segment, allowing customers to operate a shared-memory, deskside supercomputer that scales up to 128 cores and 1TB of shared memory.

The combined Cray CX1 system and vSMP Foundation solution enables workgroups and small organizations to deploy high performance computing capabilities that harness the power of multiple processors while simplifying their operational environment. This solution is able to run a variety of Linux workloads, such as large memory, parallel workloads, and high core count shared memory applications.

vSMP Foundation aggregates multiple industry-standard, off-the-shelf x86 servers (rack-mounted or blade systems) into one single virtual high-end system for the HPC market. vSMP Foundation provides customers with an alternative to traditional expensive symmetrical multiprocessor (SMP) systems and also offers simplified clustering infrastructure with a single operating system. It currently allows customers to create a single virtual SMP system with up to 32 sockets (128 cores) and up to 4 TB of shared memory in an energy-efficient, dense package.
