Gaming Keyboard: Dual-Socket Server With Low Latency Front Side Bus

Mitrionics, Inc., developer of the Mitrion™ Virtual Processor and the Mitrion Software Acceleration Platform, announced its Mitrionics MVP622 Hybrid Computing Server accelerated computing solution based on SGI® Altix® XE 320 server with a Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5420 Processor. The Dual-Socket Accelerated Server will include licenses for two Mitrion Virtual Processors (MVP), the XtremeData, Inc.™ XD2000i™ Front Side Bus (FSB) socket based accelerator hardware, each with dual Altera® Stratix™ III FPGAs, plus the Mitrion Software Development Kit with parallel programming language and working example code. This new MVP622 Hybrid Computing Server is the first of its kind that integrates hardware with an MVP, and a complete parallel programming environment in a single, off-the-shelf solution.

"The world of computation is changing for good reasons," stated Mike Calise, executive vice president and general manager of Mitrionics, Inc. "The industry has finally arrived at the point where hybrid computing is no longer relegated to exotic supercomputers. This package is commercially available and inexpensive, and since we're solving the programming hurdle for FPGAs, makes the greenest accelerator alternative accessible to our customers."

"Mitrionics and SGI have worked together for years bringing the best Reconfigurable computing solutions to customers," said Bill Mannel, director of server marketing, SGI. "By coupling the Altix ® XE 320 server with the new MVP Hybrid Computing Development System, we marry the advantages of the Altix XE 320, which seeks to optimize data center space while minimizing the power footprint, with the latest FPGA developments in the market today."
