IRIS High Performance Computing
IRIS Technologies provides high performance servers that can be used in clusters to build solutions for the HPC community. The servers come with IRIS Reconfigurable engines (multi-FPGA and multi-DSP) boards for offload processing. IRIS also provides financing for qualified customers. All systems come with MTBF numbers and redundant power supplies.
The IRIS HPC advantage: Scalable, Use Existing Code Base, No New Languages
- You do not loose processor sockets: Easy to scale with processor technology
- Can be clustered for a scalable solution: Based on standard servers
- Work with off the shelf Operating Systems: Windows Compute Cluster Server, Microsoft 2008 Server 64-bit
- IRIS provides Math and HPC libraries from Intel and Microsoft: Intel MKL, MAPM
- Drivers, DLL and a simple API provided for easy development of applications
- Bundled with software tools
-
IRIS provides system integration and low cost application development services: MATLAB, DSP, FPGA, C/C++
Dynamic Remote Power Management (Can turn off individual cards in machines in a cluster) - MTBF numbers provided for all systems and redundant power supplies
- Offload cards consume 8 to 10 watts each versus an additional server that consumes 400 Watts
