Convey Computer™ Corporation Launches World's First Hybrid-Core Computer at SC08 Conference

unique to Convey.

The HC-1 transforms HPC in three main ways. It: 1) breaks through the current power/performance wall to significantly increase performance for certain compute and memory bandwidth intensive applications within bioinformatics, financial analytics, seismic, and certain other application areas; 2) is easy for programmers to use because it provides full support of an ANSI standard C, C++ and Fortran development environment. Such support eliminates programming model changes and enables Convey's system to accelerate existing code ("dusty decks"); and 3) significantly reduces support, power and facility costs for companies, yet it makes integration into current HPC environments simple and inexpensive. A prototype of the HC-1 will be on display at SC08 Booth 1753.

"With our energy-efficient Intel® Xeon® processors as the backbone of high-performance computing, we are working closely with Convey to enable an innovative computing system that significantly enhances performance for certain applications," said Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group. "Convey's system is unique in that it does not require programmers to instrument their code but, instead, provides an open-standard programming model that does not use proprietary mechanisms that have historically limited adoption of heterogeneous solutions."

Bruce Toal, CEO of Convey Computer Corporation, said Convey was formed to "build a foundation for innovation that eliminates the programming and usability barriers of asymmetric computing that are reminiscent of the days of array processors. The ability to accelerate existing applications without special language extensions and without explicit data movement enables a new era of high-performance, hybrid-core
