Numascale Launches Scalable Shared Memory at Cluster Prices at SC2012 in Salt Lake City
NumaConnect enables users to build large, low-cost plug-and-play high performance shared memory systems.
NumaConnect Adapter cards deliver true plug-and-play connectivity between standard servers running a single pristine OS image. The hardware-controlled ccNuma environment allows applications to have fast access to the aggregate memory of all servers in the system. NumaChip is fabricated by IBM and can be seen operating with IBM x3755 servers in booth 3218 at SC12 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Numascale, Concurrent Thinking and Gridcore Receive Eurostars Funding for Technology for Big-Data Challenges
Oslo - Warwick - Gothenburg - 1. April 2012
Funded by Eurostars Concurrent Thinking of Warwick UK,
Gridcore of Gothenburg and Numascale of Oslo forms the E!6988 SEED project to provide scalable, cost efficient DC/HPC technology with SMP capabilities for big-data Challenges.
The project will leverage expertise in specialized interconnects, management software and HPC service provisioning to develop disruptive solutions aimed at big-data applications. This will enable exabyte-capable mainframe-class systems to be built from commodity servers and at a fraction of current expected cost levels.
1DEGREENORTH announces NumaQ – an innovative big-data in-memory analytics appliance
Singapore - Hamburg, 18. June 2012
Singapore-based 1degreenorth Pte Ltd is pleased to annouced NumaQ, an innovative big-data in-memory analytics appliance.
NumaQ provides big-data analytics customers with a cost efficient appliance to analyse and visualize big-data workloads from hundreds of gigabytes to terrabytes. Virtualizing multiple x86 servers into a single SMP server via Numascale’s NumaConnect hardware and including a high-end Nvidia graphics card, data scientists are now able to model and view large datasets with the ease of use of a deskside workstation and with the power (and price) of a tradditional HPC cluster. To further simplify the management of NumaQ, 1degreenorth’s NumaManager provides a web-based dashboard to install, manage and operate the NumaQ appliance.
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.
