We are interested in research on next generation computer architectures and look forward to collaborating with Penguin and AMD to advance power-efficient computing strategies. This first of a kind cluster of Altus 2A00 servers will support our exploration of advanced programming models like OpenCL, which seamlessly map MPI applications to the CPU and GPU cores, and research into system software support for advanced data movement capabilities.

Do you have a very low power envelope for a given number of servers? Do you want super-clocked CPU speeds in a standard form factor? Do you need a ruggedized server that can withstand extreme environmental conditions? Let us know what your server needs are and we will build what you need.
Penguin Computing creates custom systems built to your exact specifications with the attention to detail that made us famous. When it comes to reliability, we are obsessive. We extensively test every component in our product line and ensure functionality and compatibility with all major commercial and freely available Linux distributions.
In addition to our unmatched experience building Linux servers, we partner only with the best-of-breed suppliers. What you get is the most reliable Linux system you could ever own.
Custom designs we deliver include
- DC powered servers for Telco environments
- Servers with right-sized power supplies that run at optimal efficiency based on applications’ power draw profiles
- High-density storage servers with up to 12 hard drives in a 1U form factor for Hadoop deployments
- Cost-effective GPU development platforms based on AMD’s integrated Fusion APU architecture in standard rack-mounted server form factors
- Low cost, super-clocked servers in small form factors for optimal performance of applications with a low degree of parallelization
- Custom cooling solutions
- Ruggedized servers that run under extreme environmental operating conditions such as high altitudes, extreme temperature ranges and high humidity
- Servers combining traditional hard-drive-based storage with SSD storage technology for optimal performance of databases and journaled file systems such as ZFS
