Myricom 10-Gigabit Networking Solutions Support Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 for High-Performance Computing Applications11 June 2006
In concert with Microsoft's announcement thatMicrosoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 has been released tomanufacturing, global High-Performance Computing (HPC) leader Myricomannounced software support for its Myrinet-2000 and Myri-10G networkingproducts on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. Myricom networkingsolutions for Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 deliver excellent userperformance while maintaining the Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003advantages of plug-and-play installation and application compatibility.
"Clusters have become the dominant computer architecture for satisfying thegrowing demands for increased processing power for HPC users and forenterprises," says Dr. Chuck Seitz, founder and CEO of Myricom."Microsoft's increased efforts in HPC, particularly the introduction ofWindows Compute Cluster Server 2003, will help stimulate the development ofadditional cluster application programs, and will promote the use ofclustering among the enormous base of systems powered by MicrosoftWindows."
By simplifying deployment and management, Windows Compute Cluster Server2003 extends the advantages of clusters beyond traditional research-drivenHPC applications to address the growing demands of finance, oil and gas,bioscience, manufacturing, and other vertical industries. Similarly,Myricom's Myri-10G solutions have achieved success bridging the gap betweenspecialty cluster interconnects and globally ubiquitous Ethernet. Aconvergence of specialized HPC networking and 10-Gigabit Ethernet, Myri-10GNetwork Interface Cards (NICs) and switches combine high-performance andcomplete interoperability at compelling price points.
Long-Standing Relationship Evolves With Market
For nearly a decade, Myricom and Microsoft have delivered fast, affordable,turnkey solutions for demanding cluster applications. Deployment optionsinclude running internet protocol (IP)-over-Myrinet via the Windows IPprotocol stack and using the new Myri-10G products, either 10-GigabitMyrinet or native 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Myricom solutions support a broadrange of popular middleware libraries including Message Passing Interface(MPI), Direct Access Programming Library (DAPL) and Sockets.
"Microsoft and Myricom are simplifying the deployment model and improvingthe economics of High-Performance Computing solutions in a variety ofdemanding scenarios from government research and academic facilities toFortune 100 data centers," said John Borozan, group product manager,Windows Server Division at Microsoft Corp. "Customers deploying solutionsfrom both companies can do so with the confidence that comes from years ofexperience and technological influence."
Both Myricom's new-generation Myri-10G solutions and its widely deployedMyrinet-2000 cluster-network technology have been tested extensively withWindows Compute Cluster Server 2003. The first public demonstrationsfeaturing a beta version of Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 withMyri-10G networking occurred at Supercomputing 2005 conference in November2005.
About Myricom (www.myri.com)
Founded in 1994, Myricom, Inc. created Myrinet, the High-PerformanceComputing (HPC) interconnect technology used in thousands of computingclusters in more than 50 countries. With its new Myri-10G solutions,Myricom achieves a convergence at 10-Gigabit data rates between itslow-latency Myrinet technology and mainstream Ethernet. Myri-10G bridgesthe gap between the rigorous demands of traditional HPC and the growingneed for affordable computing speed in enterprise data centers. Myricomsolutions are sold direct and through channels. Myri-10G clusters aresupplied by OEM computer companies including IBM, HP, Dell, and Sun, and byleading cluster integrators worldwide. Privately held and based inArcadia, California, Myricom achieved and has sustained profitability since1995 with eleven consecutive profitable years through 2005.
