Personal Supercomputing

Orion provides the highest performance computer available for power and volume constrained environments with the same ease-of-use and management of a standard PC

• Highest performance/watt/foot3 of any computational resource

• Localized supercomputing power• Taking Supercomputer performance out of the

datacenter to wherever it’s needed• Cluster based architecture, industry standard

components and Linux operating system

Orion Linux Distribution• based on Fedora Core 2 with cluster extensions• special drivers for cluster architecture• all nodes boot from head-node disk

ROM-based, fast, cluster-boot program• boots entire cluster in 1-2 minutes from a single system image• creates a single computer

Message Passing Interface (MPI) library• standard platform for cluster applications; tuned to Orion network• creates a standard cluster for programs• other standard clustering packages supported: SGE, PVM

Distributed storage subsystem• PVFS2 cluster file system• makes into a stand-alone computer with internal storage

Taking Advantage of Industry Trends

Page 9: Orion Multisystems Confidential & Proprietary Orion Personal Supercomputing.

Orion Multisystems Confidential & Proprietary

Trends in Top 500 Supercomputers

Clusters - 60%

Linux - 67%

X86 - 70%

High Performance computing is migrating to away from proprietary systems to COTS components and standard x86 architecture

Orion leads the supercomputing industry by creating standard platforms that integrate the best-of-breed in all these categories while focusing on reduced user complexity and the highest performance within the power envelope of a standard 15amp wall socket.

Rise of cluster-based high-performance computers• Clusters now seen as best way to do parallel computing

(succeeding vector, SMP, and massively parallel)• Very rapid performance improvements

• much faster than Moore’s Law• lowest top500’s performance doubled in one year

Development of cluster software and hardware standards

• x86 architecture and Gigabit Ethernet as software standards• Linux and MPI as parallel programming APIs

Clusters now cover a wide performance range • From just above PCs to Blue Gene • All different sizes, from 10 to 10,000s of nodes (bulk 8-100)

Trends in High Performance Computing: Clusters

Page 11: Orion Multisystems Confidential & Proprietary Orion Personal Supercomputing.

The current reality of mid-range clusters• Ad hoc, custom built collections of boxes

• Hard for an individual to get exclusive access, or even to share access

• Power, space, and cooling intensive

• IT support required

Current Clusters vs. Orion Advantage

Orion Expertise and Advantages

• Cluster systems and board level design, Linux, HW/SW engineering

• Small, dense, low power platforms

• COTS design and systems level manufacturing reduces user acquisition costs

• Flexible platforms with wider usage model than white box integration and datacenter installations

• System level integration eliminates management complexity

The Orion Cluster Workstation with gridMathematica

Orion Cluster WorkstationSolution Bundle: DT12S-009gridMathematica pre-installed on Orion

“Together, Wolfram Research and Orion Multisystems provide everything you need to get started with technical and scientific supercomputing. The same parallel computations that you develop with gridMathematica will run without modification on a budget Orion Cluster Workstation or on a top 500 supercomputer.” said Peter Overmann, director of software technology at Wolfram Research.

The Ultimate Technical Computing Platform

The first quick way to set up and run large calculations by offering

• a high-level programming language,

• a vast collection of fast and reliable mathematical algorithms

• easy-to-use parallel programming constructs

• on the most cost effective cluster architecture on the market.

Subject: 12-machineFrom: "Trease, Harold E" <[email protected]>Date: Wed, February 23, 2005 4:27 pmTo: [email protected]:

I got my 12-node Orion machine last Friday. It took all of about 15-minutes to unpack it, hook things up and run a parallel job. I spent the whole weekend just playing. Very slick. I am going to talk to Marc about getting a 96-node machine.

Thanks for making the contact.

From: Bill Budd [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 10:20 AMTo: Juli Nash MoultraySubject: Re: Target Finders at Anadarko - Friday morning

Hi Juli

The demo went really well. (Got our first parallel application running Wednesday night!) I wrote a little script to fire up 12 Xosviews at once for added wow factor and it seemed to have the desired effect, everybody very impressed with the D12.

I hadn't though about the benefits of portability till I broke down the D12 system in the office, put it in the car, drove round to Anadarko and reassembled it. Total time excluding travel about 40 minutes. The ability to transport and deploy such a powerful system for field use (on seismic crews) is a fantastic boon for the oil industry. I must get myself a nice flight case for the D12!

And as you know most of the seismic contractors use clusters (in itself a significant hardware market for you), so there are lots of seismic packages around capable of running on clusters which are already licensed into oil companies.

Anyway, must close now, will talk to you again soon. And thanks to all the folks at Orion for a great product which has huge potential in the O+G sector.

Cheers, Bill
