SGI Accelerator Enabling Program

The newly created SGI Accelerator Enabling Program will allow developers and ISVs to take strategic advantage of SGI's longstanding experience of deploying accelerator solutions in HPC systems. SGI has enlarged the current FPGA-based focus to include and support HW architectures such as:

  • ClearSpeed
  • NVIDIA TESLA
  • PACT XPP
  • Many-core x86 architectures
  • FPGAs

To enable easy access for our developer community, SGI will provide free external web access to an HPC accelerated cluster environment which will include the latest accelerator versions listed above.

We see an increased demand for these new technologies and have also created a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) for our partners to further increase their visibility and to promote Accelerator technology. It provides great opportunities such as:

  • Co-marketing
  • Trade Show Visibility
  • Publicity
  • Promotions
  • Referrals and Presentations

It's a great way to create synergies and enable our partners to remain on the very leading edge of technology. The MOU is non-binding and free-of-charge, so if you look for an opportunity to get a head-start on exciting new technologies, contact us to receive a copy of the program. We also will be happy to work with you and analyze in detail which accelerator technology is the best fit for your application space.

We will also provide shortly a more in-depth overview about the different forms of Accelerator Technologies on this webpage.
