Scalability
Delivering new dimensions of scalability, from workstations and clusters to the world’s largest supercomputers.
Flexibility
Designed for both compute-intensive as well as data-intensive application requirements.
Balance
Providing unprecedented levels of integration helps to ensure CPU, memory, I/O, and storage all work in harmony.
Improved Bandwidth and Reduced Latency
Moving all the HPC building blocks closer to the processor greatly shortens the distance data must travel, improves bandwidth, and reduces latency.
Integration
Integrating the fabric interface and memory into Intel® processors enables reduced power, improved performance, and greater reliability.
Application and Performance Portability
Preserve your investment in legacy software and coding expertise.
