Leveraging Commercial Parallel Technologies and Open Source Support to Scale Out Enterprise Linux Clusters

Overview High-performance clusters of standard computing and networking components can be a cost-effective way to execute massively parallel processing tasks. Two products from MPI Software Technology, Inc. (MSTI) ChaMPIon/Pro MPI-2.1 middleware for the Linux operating system and Felix cluster deployment and management software help enable IT organizations to create reliable clusters of all sizes, providing particularly effective support for high-performance computing (HPC) configurations that comprise more than 1,000 nodes (or 2,000 processors).
