The SiCortex family of Linux cluster systems takes High Performance Technical Computing (HPTC) a step beyond conventional clusters. SiCortex concentrates on power-efficient design and simultaneous tuning of silicon, microcode, and system software to deliver outstanding application performance per dollar, per watt, and per square foot.
