Terra Soft offers 8-Node Power PC Linux clustersLoveland 07 September 2000 Linux company Terra Soft offers a portable, 8-node PowerPC cluster with Black Lab Linux installed and configured for parallel processing and development.
"Not everyone requires a
room full of nodes to benefit from high-performance computing. We
recognized the need for a powerful, light-weight, Black Lab Linux
cluster that could literally be wheeled from room to room in a
laboratory, school, or code development environment. Parallel code
development can be a bit tricky and it is often comforting to have the
entire cluster next to your desk. Our clusters will help developers
get their feet wet with PowerPC Linux parallel computing," stated Kai
Staats, CEO of Terra Soft Solutions.
Terra Soft's first customer is MIICRO, Inc., an imaging technology
company with a patented neuroimaging method for the evaluation of CNS
drugs using positron emission tomography (PET). MIICRO will use the
parallel system to develop its neuroinformatics services for the rapid
screening of CNS compounds, and the development of high-speed image
analysis tools.
The logic boards are offered in speeds from 233 - 400 MHz with
32 - 512 MB RAM on each board. Terra Soft offers support and
application development services. 8-node systems start at $18,400.
