Dolphin Wulfkit for Intel IA64 ItaniumNatick 27 August 2001 Dolphin Interconnect announced WulfKit with MPI communication libraries for Intel's IA64 Itanium platform developed by Dolphin partner Scali AS. This combination now delivers record-breaking performance, with greater than 300 Mbytes per second transfer rates and less than 4 microseconds latency between user processes in different nodes, Dolphin is setting new standards by which to measure inter-node communication performance in a HPC cluster.
Scali's MPI provides a rich set of functions for management of WulfKit cluster systems including simple software installation, parallel command execution, power and console management, interconnect management, system resource monitoring, parallel program execution and job scheduling. WulfKit high performance interconnect systems are used for a variety of applications ranging from scientific computing, such as computational fluid dynamics and seismic data processing, to commercial applications including scalable databases for data warehousing. The 64-bit Itanium processor is Intel's first product in the IA64 family of processors. It is designed to address the needs of high performance applications and incorporates many leading-edge features specifically designed to address the ever-expanding needs for highest floating-point performance and large memory capabilities.
