A team composed of IBM, Nvidia and Mellanox is scheduled to complete the development of two supercomputing machines at the Energy Department‘s Oak Ridge and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories early next year. The alliance is working to build ORNL’s Summit and LLNL’s Sierra computers through a $325 million project DOE awarded in late 2014. Dave Turek, vice president of exascale systems […] More

NASA has selected Mellanox Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise to supply interconnect and liquid-cooled platforms for a high-performance computing cluster at the space agency’s Ames Research Center in California. HPE will deliver its SGI 8600 liquid-cooled system and combine it with Mellanox’s EDR InfiniBand interconnect platform for integration with Ames’ Electra supercomputer, Mellanox said Monday. Both companies will […] More

Mellanox Technologies and the Energy Department‘s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have entered into a partnership agreement to design and architect exascale computing technologies. PNNL and Mellanox seek to explore advanced functions of the company’s Interconnect platform as well as develop a new in-network computing architecture,  Mellanox said Monday. The partnership will also support efforts of Mellanox and DOE’s Center for Advance Technology Evaluation to […] More

The Defense Information Systems Agency has cleared Mellanox Technologies‘ SwitchX family of Ethernet switches for deployment in Defense Department-run computer networks. DISA gave the approval after the company’s Mellanox Federal Systems subsidiary secured a Unified Capabilities Approved Product List certification from the agency for the SwitchX series of 10/40 gigabit Ethernet switches, Mellanox said Monday. According to DISA, a product can […] More

IBM has unveiled a new center in Montpellier, France to provide technical support for developers as they work to create applications for big data workload management.
