Nov. 3 -- At SC09, the 22nd annual supercomputing conference, Inphi will launch its Isolation Memory Buffer, the industry's first component based on Inphi's innovative Isolation Memory Buffer (iMB) technology. The iMB memory architecture enables servers to take full advantage of multicore and virtualization technologies. Inphi's iMB component is driving the creation of LR-DIMMs, a new class of memory modules able to deliver upward of four times the memory capacity and nearly double the bandwidth.
Visit Inphi's Booth #1255 to see the first public demonstration of Inphi's Isolation Memory Buffer product (iMB01-GS01). Inphi will show bandwidth-intensive applications running side-by-side on comparably configured systems with and without the Inphi isolation memory buffer.
Sameer Kuppahalli, product marketing manager of the DDR3 Memory Buffer Program at Inphi Corp., will give a technical presentation titled "Meeting the Growing Demands for Memory Capacity and Available Bandwidth in Server and HPC Applications" on Wed., Nov. 18 at 3:30 p.m. in Room E143-144.
Twice a day at SC09, Inphi will hold a drawing to give away an Amazon Kindle device. Attendees can enter the drawing by visiting Inphi's booth.
SC09 will take place Nov. 14-20, 2009. Inphi will be in Booth #1255 at SC09, at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Ore.
More information on Inphi's new Isolation Memory Buffer based on iMB technology will be available in the SC09 virtual press room, www.virtualpressoffice.com/kit/InphiSC09.
About SC09
SC09 will be the 22nd consecutive year of the SC (Supercomputing) Conference Series, the international conference for high-performance computing, networking, storage and analysis. The technical program, which is the heart of this event, has addressed virtually every area of scientific and engineering research, as well as technical development, innovation and education. Established 21 years ago, the SC Conference Series has built a diverse community of participants that include researchers, scientists, computer manufacturing personnel, program managers, journalists and congressional staffers. This diversity is one of the conference's main strengths, making it a yearly "must attend" forum for stakeholders throughout the technical computing community.

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.
