Edge: Work-Group Computing Report, Sept 6, 1999

Atipa Linux Solutions, best recognized as one of the first dedicated Linux solutions companies, has announced the implementation of a 200 node cluster system with a compute server capable of .5 teraflops in peak floating point performance and utilizing Red Hat Linux operating systems. Longtime customer Motorola will use the cluster system to enhance its atomic and device scale modeling to develop next generation semiconductor devices.

"By using Atipa's cluster system, the turn around time for some of our simulations will go down from days to hours," said Roland Stumpf, senior research engineer, Motorola Computational Materials Group. "We will be able to simulate bigger, more realistic models than was possible before."

"Atipa Linux Solutions is committed to providing our customers around the world with the reliable, scalable and cost effective Linux solutions they need to introduce new technologies to the enterprise market place," said Jason Talley, president of Atipa Linux Solutions. "The 200 node cluster system offers a robust, flexible processing platform that gives customers like Motorola the ability to greatly extend the limits of technical computing."
