"Interconnects and file systems are critical to what we do, the
availability of a smaller advanced development system will ensure our users a
positive first experience when they get onto the larger production machines ,"
said Tom Kendall. Terrascale's flagship product TerraGrid enables
commodity compute and application clusters -- running on standard networks
-- to achieve wire-speed I/O rates, without additional hardware and while
co-existing with the rich suite of open source Linux software.

Repeated measurements taken in real-world production environments have
revealed that InfiniBand with SDP delivers 3X the bandwidth and 5X the
transactional rates when compared to gigabit Ethernet connected to an
equivalent number of disk drives.

While there are many types of computers that can be classified as supercomputers, this category is for the sale of the specific sort of supercomputer that is sold as one unit (if the product can be classified as a 'cluster', it's a parallel computer, not a supercomputer) and is not manufactured from commodity hardware (that's a Beowulf).

"The complexity and fidelity of current production DoD calculations
consume terabytes of memory and tens of CPU years for a single simulation ,"
said Jerry Clarke, Scientific Visualization Team Leader. Using 10 gigabit per second InfiniBand
interconnect with this solution instead of gigabit Ethernet delivers at
least a 3X storage throughput increase for clustered and grid computing
applications that require shared access to large data volumes ."
