Think Computer To Demo Upcoming
AMD Opteron
During FOSE 2003 (April 8-10) being held at the new Washington D.C.
Convention
Center, Think Computer Products will be demonstrating their latest, high
performance ThinkTank IQ System based on the upcoming AMD Opteron
Processors.
FOSE attendees will get a sneak-peek at the company's ThinkTank Q-Cluster
Base DP64-2U prototype, running Dual AMD Opteron processors for HyperTransport
based, high performance clustering. The cluster node is packed tight and
running cool in a specially modified Super Micro 2U rackmount enclosure
designed with fault tolerant power, cooling and storage. Each unit is IPMI
compliant for remote monitoring and alert notification. The company plans on
running SuSE Linux OS and Scyld Beowulf Cluster Operating software in
demonstrating what they believe to be some of the best price/performance
ratios in high performance computing.
The cluster platforms are designed for running data
monitoring/analysis/response, streaming broadcasts with "real time" streaming
data analysis digital image processing, digital asset management, rapid
prototyping, RW modeling/analysis and CAD/CAM. Think Computer Products will
also demonstrate the power of the platform as applied to digital film
compositing, video effects and rendering using the ThinkTank Q-Cluster and
StorCase InfoStation II scaleable RAID sub-system.
Think Computer Products developed the AMD Opteron based ThinkTank Q-
Cluster
to provide for the needs of various industries including government, science,
finance, medicine, security and others. The company believes the new platforms
will prove to be viable in bringing affordable high performance computing
power to the small and mid-size business sectors.
