SGI's Altix 350 server scales from one to 16 64-bit Itanium 2 processors (regular as well as low voltage) and up to 192GB of global shared memory in a single system. The 350 also uses the 6.4GB/sec SGI NUMAlink interconnect. It is capable of independently scaling across processors, shared memory and/or I/O on a single, standard chassis with different expansion modules, making it suitable for demanding technical applications. Along with the 350, SGI offers ProPack software, which includes tools, libraries and performance improvements that build on system, data and resource management features in the standard Linux distribution.
