CSP Inc. Announces Shipment of Linux Cluster Computing Systems for Mission Critical Defense Applications
BILLERICA, Mass., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- CSP Inc. (Nasdaq: CSPI - news) MultiComputer Division, a leading supplier of high-performance cluster computing systems, announced delivery of FastCluster systems to four different U.S. defense contractors in August. CSPI's FastCluster is an ultra dense, rugged, high-performance cluster computer based on the Linux operating system that provides the high throughput and large memory options with trouble-free expansion that is required for mission critical military applications.
The FastCluster systems are being evaluated for use in five new military programs involving laser signaling in detection and tracking systems, stimulation/simulation, and Command, Control, Communication & Intelligence applications. Initial customer testing of CSPI's FastCluster MultiComputer systems has proven that the Linux operating system, when coupled with the processing power of Motorola's PowerPC 7400 using AltiVec, provides all of the system performance characteristics required for defense related signal and image processing applications, such as SONAR and RADAR. ``CSPI's value proposition is to integrate the best of breed technologies into the highest performing, and most open systems for today's defense related mission critical applications. Linux is the most open operating system available today. Integrating it into our ultra dense hardware platform gives our customers the optimal combination of open high performance cluster computing'', said Scott Mitchell, Vice President Marketing for CSPI's MultiComputer Division.
XonTech, a FastCluster customer, is a leading research and development firm that provides technical services and systems engineering for the Aerospace and Defense Industries. ``We are very much impressed with the ease of portability for our code stream that was initially developed on another platform. We ported several segments of the code over to the CSPI embedded system and were up and running within a day'', stated David Lowe, Manager Information Systems - Special Studies Division of XonTech.
