In addition to use standard processors and memory modules, all peripherals use standard interaces. Communication boards for Ethernet, FDDI and ATM networks allow an easy integration of the GigaBooster into your Local Area Network. Every aspect of the GigaBooster is designed to allow future scalability and expandability. For example, the 64 bit technology and the scalable modular platform ensure ample expandability to meet growing software requirements. 32 MB 16 MB Max.

In conventional parallel computer design, communication administration is done by the software. Because this administration increases with the number of processing elements it becomes the bottleneck. Supercomputing Systems AG has implemented communication administration on the hardware layer. This specialized hardware takes care of all this communication administration for data parallel applications, namely the collection and distribution of data arrays among all the processing elements. The use of the Digital UNIX operating system ensures access to the wide world of UNIX applications.
