The Altix 3000 Supercluster

For technical users seeking to achieve breakthrough performance with open-source computing, the SGI Altix 3000 family takes Linux® to new altitudes of scalability and performance. SGI Altix 3000 superclusters can scale up to hundreds of Intel® Itanium® 2 processors with a built-in SGI® NUMAlinkTM interconnect fabric that delivers information between nodes up to 200 times faster than conventional clustering switches. Each node of an SGI Altix 3000 supercluster can run a single Linux operating system image over 64 Intel Itanium 2 processors and up to 512GB of memory.
