Numascale, IBM and the University of Oslo together in European PRACE Prototype for Emerging Technology
Seattle WA. - Oslo - 15. November 2011
Building Large Shared Memory System using NumaConnect Adapters and IBM x3755 Servers for Big Data Research
The University of Oslo (UiO), Numascale and IBM (NYSE: IBM) have signed an agreement for a prototype where the Numascale technology will be tested on a large scale for advanced research computation. Funded by the Norwegian Research Council, UiO and Framework Programme 7 through the first PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) implementation phase project, the project will evaluate NumaConnect for future use in pan-European Research Infrastructure. As part of the pilot program, IBM is providing the server infrastructure along with deep HPC competence across key functions and Gridcore, a joint partner of Numascale and IBM, will build the new advanced computing resource.
Universitetet i Oslo, Numascale og IBM sammen om norsk teknologi for avansert forskning
Oslo 14.11.2011:
Universitetet i Oslo (UiO), det norske teknologiselskapet Numascale AS og det internasjonale storkonsernet IBM har signert avtale om et pilotprosjekt hvor norskutviklet teknologi for avanserte beregninger skal utprøves i stor skala. Med prosjektmidler fra Norges Forskningsråd, UiO og PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), skal partnerne bygge opp en regneressurs basert på teknologien fra Numascale. Regneanlegget vil være det største av sitt slag og åpne for nye måter å benytte avanserte regneressurser i forskning.
Teknologien fra Numascale AS gjør det mulig å bygge opp store datasystemer med mange prosessorer som deler hele systemets minne (RAM), ved hjelp av såkalt ”shared memory”. Med NumaConnect-teknologien kan man kople sammen flere mindre servere til en stor systemenhet på en mer effektiv måte. Dette kan bidra til store kostnadsbesparelser.
Numascale Announces support for Supermicro 1042G-LTF and IBM System x3755 M3 with multi socket 8/12 core AMD Opteron 6000 Series
Hamburg - 17. June 2011
Demonstrating NumaConnect Scalable Shared Memory System
at ISC’11 in Hamburg
Numascale, a provider of innovative technology for cost-effective shared memory and cluster computer systems, announces support for their NumaConnect technology on new servers from IBM and Supermicro. Both servers use Socket G34, supporting the 8 or 12 core AMD Opteron Magny-Cours processors. This lays the foundation for an increased scalability in high-performance SMP systems using standard servers and NumaConnect SMP adapters.

Numascale demonstrates NumaConnect Software Development Kit at ISC10
Oslo, 25. May 2010
Numascale, an innovator of revolutionary technology for cost-effective SMP and cluster systems for HPC, today announced that it will officially demonstrate a live SMP cluster based on AMD Opteron processors and NumaConnect SDK at the International Supercomputer Conference (ISC10) in Hamburg starting May 31st 2010.
The breakthrough technology developed over the last 4 years is being showcased live for the first time. In booth 734 at ISC, Numascale features a multi-node system with each node containing two 6 core Opteron processors. With the FPGA based NumaConnect SDK installed in each node, it extends the cache coherent Hypertransport protocol to the whole system enabling it to run one single Linux operating system image with all memory, all processors and all I/O shared and available. →Read the Press Release
