Kingston, MA, February 14, 2005

Microway today announced availability of Screamer™ I-64, their 1U 64-bit dual Intel® Xeon™ solution for HPC clusters and Servers. Running Red Hat or SUSE Linux or Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 HP Edition, the platform is ideal for 64-bit compute-intensive applications including CFD, FEA and Oracle. The platform includes Microway's Nodewatch™/MCMS™ hardware and software tool for remote cluster management, monitoring and control.

The latest Intel® Xeon™ 3.6 GHz processor with 2MB L2 cache incorporates innovations including Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology, SSE3 instructions and Hyper-Threading technology. Screamer™ I-64 includes the Intel® Server Board SE7520JR2, and expanded 800 MHz system bus and PCI-Express graphics capability.

Stephen Fried, President and CTO explained: "Screamer™ I-64 is ideal for building HPC clusters running coarse and fine grain parallel MPI applications and can utilize Gigabit Ethernet or InfiniBand to connect nodes. Each node features a pair of Intel® Xeon™ EM64T processors, running at 3.6 GHz with two megabytes of on chip cache. These processors use a new Intel instruction set, which contains extended 64-bit registers. The Intel compilers, allow the user take excellent advantage of a 64-bit physical address space. Advanced optimization techniques, including loop unrolling, software pipelining and memory disambiguation, make it possible to take full advantage of extended SSE II registers producing efficient floating point code."
