HPC@Intel: When to Say No to Parallelism - on HPCwire.com
As a software developer, you are faced with a range of options as you decide whether and how to modify your applications for parallel architectures. What approach should you adopt? How significantly should you alter applications? When should you say "no" to parallelism? Answering these questions requires not only technical expertise but also strategic thinking that evaluates the business benefits and costs. As you weigh your options, consider the suggestions included in this article, which we’ve derived from our experiences at Intel working with software developers to optimize code.

Stanford HPC Center Rocks with Intel® Cluster Ready Solution
In just eleven days during 2007, the Stanford University High-Performance Computing (HPC) Center nearly doubled the performance of its existing compute system. The center leveraged certification methodology from the Intel® Cluster Ready Program to fully implement a 1,696-core cluster solution. The solution integrates Clustercorp, Dell and Panasas technologies to give the center the flexibility to meet ever-expanding computational and application requirements and to enable Stanford researchers to achieve faster time-to-results.

Cluster Ready Proof Point Sponsored by Silicon Mechanics
High-performance computing (HPC) systems are within reach of SMBs, but those complex clusters can still require full-time IT staff … unless the cluster is built on Intel® Cluster Ready specifications. Cluster Ready makes sure everyone from the software vendors to the system builder is playing with the same rule book, so customers get solutions that work out of the box and can scale as needed.

First Experiences building an Intel® Cluster Ready certified 40GB/s InfiniBand* cluster
Presented by Jim Ballew, CTO of Appro*
Appro, the leading provider of HPC Cluster Solutions together with Intel® and Mellanox* provide the most advanced, high-performance computing solutions to help HPC users align their technology more closely with their business goals. In this presentation given during ISC 08, Appro discussed their experience in building the first Intel® Cluster Ready certified 40GB/s InfiniBand cluster based on Intel® Xeon® Quad-Core processors. Additionally, Appro presented the value of balanced supercomputer architecture with its Xtreme-X1 supercomputer providing a reliable and scalable architecture that combines high performance with high availability computing in a redundant and manageable framework. As an added bonus, Richard Dracott – General Manager of Intel’s HPC unit – and Gilad Shainer – Director of the Technical Marketing Group at Mellanox – were on hand for questions.
