    1. hpcLine Integrated Linux Cluster System for technical / scientific applications Eric Schnepf

    2. High Performance Computing at Fujitsu Siemens Since 1984 Vector computer collaboration with Fujitsu Sales, Consulting, Service and Support More than 40 vector computers sold and installed by Siemens Experience with technical/scientific MPP systems (KSR, SGI) Integrated Linux Cluster System hpcLine Since 1998 pilot projects with Intel based parallel systems Currently approx. 80 systems installed with in total more than 2500 CPUs

    3. hpcLine: The Basis

    4. hpcLine: From Scientific Collaboration Towards Industrial Product 1998 Test cluster of CELSIUS workstations with SCI network at PC2 12/1998 Installation of hpcLine system (192 CPUs) in Paderborn 2/1999 Announcement of hpcLine concept by Siemens 3/1999 First linux installation on hpcLine at RWTH Aachen 12/1999 First industrial hpcLine installation at DaimlerChrysler 2000 Availability of commercial application software for cluster computing under linux 2001 General acceptance of linux clusters like hpcLine in the automotive and process industry 2002 More than 2500 processors installed in more than 1300 nodes

    5. hpcLine Concept Rack-integrated Linux cluster system Intel Architecture based compute nodes using standard components Dual Intel Pentium III Single Intel Pentium 4 Dual Intel Xeon Dual AMD Athlon MP High-speed interconnect (SCI or Myrinet2000) Scalable from 8 to hundreds of nodes Highly optimized application programming interface (MPI)

    6. hpcLine: From Node to Rack Twin Module Each twin module integrates two compute nodes. Each node contains, e.g., a standard PRIMERGY board with two Pentium III processors.

    26. Your reliable partner for High Performance Computing (www.hpcline.com) Major IT Trends Move to the e-business world Today we're all being told to get online, get wired, and get on the Web - how we've all got to ”e-enable” our lives and businesses. And we're all warned of the serious consequences of missing out on the dot com era. All this sounds a bit dramatic, however the message is exactly right. E-business is now a key business issue for all of us, and we're all now having to work out how we can rebuild our businesses around e-business. Gartner believes that the e-business imperative is driving companies to re-invent themselves ... ...perhaps emerging as very different organisations from today, and finding new ways of adding value, making money and retaining customers. Gartner expects that this phase is likely to last until around 2006-2008, by which time most organisations will have re-emerged as fully e-enabled businesses. By then e-business won't be a differentiator - it will be the standard.
