Our Trio™ is a 192 core, large memory, rack-mountable, Linux-based, Departmental Supercomputer.
We call our Trio a 'Departmental SuperComputer' because it is very affordable – a High Performance Computing (HPC) solution which previously cost over a million dollars can now be obtained for an order of magnitude less. We cost less because our Trios do not depend on high cost proprietary hardware. We designed our Trios to take advantage of the latest in off-the-shelf technology. Because we architected our Trios with only off-the-shelf components, our Trios do not become obsolete as advancements in blade servers, CPUs, disk, memory, interconnect, power supplies, etc. inevitably occur.
Our Trio™ Departmental SuperComputer is a true Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) supercomputer with a large shared-memory. We implement Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) at the Unix kernel level with our patented distributed Symmetric Multi-Processing™ (dSMP) technology. Our Trios dramatically outperform other SMP implementations that rely on much less efficient hypervisor implementations.
Each Trio™ Departmental Supercomputer has twelve 16-core AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series Processors (192 cores) on three 2U SuperMicro server nodes interconnected with 40 Gbps Infiniband Mellanox host bus adapters. [No expensive Infiniband switch is needed!] Our Trio™ Departmental Supercomputer is available in two different shared memory configurations:
The Trio™ Departmental Supercomputer is rated at 1.8 TeraFLOPS.
To programmers, our Trio Departmental Supercomputer looks just like a single huge-memory Linux box. Programmers can use standard threading packages to get access to all 192 CPUs and up to 1.5 TeraBytes of memory. With Trio, programmers need not worry about message passing interface programming, which is what supercomputing clusters and other limited memory systems demand. There's also no need to build complex file-access program components; programmers can just read a big dataset into memory and access it as an array.

We encourage everyone to trial our Departmental Supercomputers. In High Performance Computing (HPC), it's always advantageous to try your specific applications and data sets on the supercomputer you're considering to make sure you're getting exactly what you need.
We give all potential customers and partners remote login privileges to our systems at our UMass Boston facility and schedule free time on our machines for them to conduct their own tests. We are confident that our Departmental Supercomputers outperform everyone. Many organizations have tested our Duets and Trios with a variety of applications and data sets; every single tester has found our departmental supercomputers to have vastly superior price/performance.
