Symmetric Computing is affordable supercomputing. Our large shared-memory Departmental Supercomputers are ideal for bioinformatics & life sciences, engineering models & simulation, financial analysis and earth science applications. Imagine a 1.5-TB shared memory, 192-core SMP supercomputer with 1.8 TFLOPS (peak theoretical) of power dedicated to your departments projects for under $100K. We create large shared-memory, multi-core high performance computers by marrying state-of-the-art, off-the-shelf server hardware with our patent-pending Distributed Symmetric Multi-Processing extension to the Linux kernel. Other supercomputer vendors rely either on expensive proprietary hardware or depend on slower, much less efficient hypervisor implementations. Our implementation of Symmetric Multi-Processing is at the Operating System-level which is inherently faster than hypervisor implementations. Symmetric Computing encourages all potential end-users and partners to remotely test our Departmental SuperComputers with our Free Trial Program. Trial participants from anywhere there is Internet can login and test our supercomputers here in Boston. We give free trial participants a userid and password that they can use to test any application(s) and data set(s) of their choosing. All we ask in return is for them to tell us the performance results they actually experience (for our constant improvement efforts), which we treat confidentially unless they state otherwise.
