ISC brings supercomputing to the masses
Interactive Supercomputing (ISC) has announced a new version of its Star-P software platform that lets existing desktop simulation tools operate automatically on high-performance computers.
The new version of Star-P now runs on lower-cost AMD Opteron-based systems, enabling more users to tap the power of parallel computing clusters.
The Star-P interactive parallel computing platform lets scientists and engineers code algorithms and models on their desktops using mathematical software such as MathWorks' Matlab, and run them instantly and interactively on parallel servers without re-programming.
Star-P for SGI’s Opteron-based servers will be available this the summer priced starting at under $8,000.
