Clusters of up to 112 of the world's fastest processors, teaming up to bring unparalleled computing power and availability to your technical and commercial applications. Highlights Memory Channel Clusters give you supercomputer performance at a fraction of the price, for all your technical and commercial applications. Incredibly low 3 microsecond latency and a raw bandwidth of 66 MB per second yields big application speed-ups. Alpha -optimized interconnect software from Compaq provides the maximum performance benefits.
Alpha systems are the fastest single nodes.
Configuration AlphaServer Clusters configured around the Memory Channel Interconnect provide the computing power of highly-specialized massively parallel processors. Simultaneously, and without compromising price and performance, they provide the availability of expensive fault-tolerant systems. Programs were compiled with Compaq Fortran V4.0 and run under Compaq Tru64 UNIX . The interconnect software used was Compaq TruCluster Memory Channel Software V1.5 and Compaq MPI .
