Why Not Make Your Computer a Supercomputer?

In the past, most IT managers regarded High Performance Computing as either too expensive or irrelevant to their business. Today, HPC is a key element to a successful IT plan. Even the littlest data enterprise, faces competitive market places and rapidly changing technological environments, can benefit from capabilities like forecasting or complex data mining proven to optimize research and development. This is the ultimate tool for conducting research in many areas of engineering, agricultural, biological, and business applications.

Peak Performance Computing: An Overview

Commercial Data Systems takes a new approach to HPC that puts our clients a step ahead of the competition. Called "Peak Performance Computing", this methodology matches the capabilities traditional to HPC while customizing it to the client's unique IT environment. CDS engineering professionals, with extensive technical expertise and a knack for profiling client infrastructures, analyze the existing setup and business practices and develop a parallel system that works. The result is a system perfect for computationally intensive research applications, tailored to maximize performance and return on investment.


Components of a typical PPC installation:

• IBM eServer® Cluster 1350 (based on IBM xSeries® Intel-based servers and IBM Storage Servers)
  
• Red Hat Linux
  
• IBM PC Configurator Tool
  
• Sun Microsystems™ E20K or E25K Massively Scalable Server
  
• Sun Microsystems™ Solaris 10 Operating System
  
• Sun Microsystems™ Grid Computing (pay-per-use additional compute power resources)
  
• Sun Microsystems™ Sun Ray™ Thin Client
  
• Sun Microsystems™ Java Workstation w2100z

Peak Performace Computing Applications:

Since the 2004 establishment of the High End Computing Revitalization Task Force by the National Coordination Office of Information Technology Research and Development, the U.S. federal government has called out to IT providers to address the growing needs of federal agencies for high end computing. But HPC applications are not limited to the government sector. HPC is perfectly suited for many fields, including:

• Scientific Research
  
• Military Simulation
  
• Medical Research
  
• Advance Product Design / Modeling
  
• Atmospheric and Environmental Study
  
• Banking
  
• Aerospace Engineering
  
• Bioinformatics
