Overview

Relentless Demand For HPC Performance
The importance of performance and productivity in the technical workplace cannot be overstated. As datasets grow increasingly complex, the path to great discovery gets more and more computationally challenging. Today’s scientists, engineers, and other technical professionals need massive horsepower to crunch these complex datasets fast, efficiently, and accurately. Feeding this relentless demand for HPC performance are resource-prohibitive CPU-based clusters. What if supercomputing was easily accessible and affordable?

Supercomputer For Everyone
Introduction of Colfax CXT5000 PSC democratizes HPC by providing today’s professionals an affordable personal supercomputing resource on their desktop that is much faster and more energy-efficient than a shared cluster in the data center.
