About Gordon

Solving Data-Intensive Problems 10x Faster

Gordon employs a vast amount of flash memory to help speed solutions hamstrung by slower spinning disk memory. "Supernodes" exploit virtual shared-memory software to create large shared-memory systems that reduce solution times and yield results for applications that tax even the most advanced supercomputers.

Gordon is funded by the National Science Foundation and is housed at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego.

Potential Scientific Applications

  • Data-mining for both academic and industrial researchers
  • "Predictive science" whose goal is to develop models of real-life phenomena of research interest
