Teraflops from Milliwatts

In high performance computing, the devil is in the milliwatts. Every watt increases the cost per answer – compromising reliability and bloating computer room costs while doing next to nothing for sustained applications performance. And in today's highly parallel systems, every single watt at the processor level becomes many kilowatts at the system level.

By worrying every milliwatt, and thereby getting the heat out, SiCortex has collapsed a roomful of 64-bit computing power down onto a single backplane in a single compact cabinet, yielding an order of magnitude advance in performance per watt, per square foot, and per dollar.
