Performance and Productivity Breakthroughs Enabled by Globally Shared Memory
Today's SGI Altix technology makes it possible to build systems with very large global shared memories, scaling to 512 processors in a single instance of Linux with shared memory up to 6 TB. Such systems enable full datasets and complete system simulations to be resident in memory and thus avoid the show-stopping problems of the "I/O wall." This paper describes the value of these systems as demonstrated in both system-level metrics as well as a broad range of applications, such as database, bioinformatics, crash and structural analysis, chemistry, reservoir simulation and others.

SGI® NUMAlink: Industry Leading Interconnect Technology
Discover the story behind the industry's leading system interconnect - SGI NUMAlink technology. This technology, which debuted in SGI® Origin servers, has evolved to today's NUMAlink 4 on SGI Altix machines. SGI NUMAlink interconnect not only offers the highest bandwidth and the lowest latency of anything on the market today, it also enables globally shared memory and single system image across up to 512 processors.
