Massive racks of parallel processing Pentiums, Opterons, and Itaniums wasted watts at an unprecedented pace last week on the show floor at Supercomputing 2005 in Seattle. Teraflops, terabytes, and terrifying network bandwidths bombarded booth attendees looking for the last word in maximizing computational throughput. Convention center air conditioning worked overtime purging the byproducts of billions of bit manipulations per second as breaker boxes burst at the seams, straining to deliver adequate amperage to simultaneously power and cool what was probably the world’s largest temporary installation of high-performance computing equipment.

Salt Lake City, Utah and Baltimore, Md.—Taking the lead in addressing strategic markets for field programmable gate array (FPGA) systems, Starbridge Systems and Nallatech today announced a worldwide strategic partnership that offers a unique combination of software, hardware and services suited for high-performance computing applications. These combined offerings make the power of FPGAs accessible to system engineers involved in high-performance computing applications in markets such as defense and military, homeland security and bioinformatics.
