"By deploying a Linux cluster, we knew we
would be able to achieve exceptional compute power, but we needed
a high performance storage system to maximize its capabilities.
Finding a cluster computing and storage solution that worked together
is absolutely critical to our business, we do not want to spend
the extra time and money to integrate solutions in-house. We want
something that works out-of-the-box. We are extremely pleased with
the order of magnitude performance gains achieved from Panasas and
Verari Systems. With other products, we were forced to make trade-offs,
but with the Panasas and Verari Systems’ solution, we were
able to get everything we needed and more, plus the service and
support we receive from both Panasas and Verari Systems are exceptional.
We certainly see their technology and support services as a key
asset to our organization." Tony

computer systems in the industry today and supplement the supercomputers,
Unix clusters, and servers used by Veritas. Verari Systems Linux
based clusters provide the very best in price performance and density
and are ideal for the compute-intensive challenges presented by
complex seismic imaging solutions. Current applications are benefiting
from the development of even higher fidelity pre-stack time and
depth imaging algorithms, thus continuing to raise the quality of
this technology to a new industry standard." Michael

"We have been running a wide
variety of servers and clusters purchased from Verari Systems for
over a year ranging from small 1U servers to large RAID data servers
and 96 processor clusters. During this time we have experienced
almost no hardware related issues whatsoever. We have found their
knowledge of hardware with respect to Linux to be good and have
regularly found them to be able to specify high performance systems
that are reliable. We have no hesitation in recommending Verari
Systems to any prospective purchaser." Scripps

"Processing
and calibrating the raw data gathered by TES and THEMIS, our instruments
onboard the spacecraft orbiting Mars, is a time-consuming procedure.
Our BladeRack cluster has greatly accelerated this process. We use
a wide variety of custom processing techniques and each technique
is used in differing variations to draw specific conclusions about
the data gathered from these instruments. It is this constant state
of refinement that is helping to generate information with increased
accuracy and verify scientific analysis. When a new data processing
technique is discovered, it has to be tested on thousands of large-scale
images, which is a very compute intensive process. Our BladeRack
cluster has allowed us to cut these data intensive processing times
from days to hours. Jobs that used to take over a month to process
are now completed in less than a week. It was also necessary to
find a solution that would provide the most processing power without
taking up valuable space, which is why the density of the BladeRack
was a perfect fit." Chris
Kurtz, System Administrator, Mars Space Flight Facility |

"When we first started using the clusters
we linked the code against MPICH and LAM (opensource MPI implementations).
The code would mysteriously crash at random times when running with
MPICH and would not even run using LAM. We contacted the maintainers
of both libraries for assistance and neither was able to offer much
in the way of help. We then turned to Verari Systems. They helped
port MPI/Pro so our code would run reliably. This modification took
the Verari Systems’ engineers about a day. Using MPI/Pro we
can now schedule very long runs on the clusters without fear of
a crash and losing the results. In addition, we found that MPI/Pro
is about 30% faster in terms of wall clock time per processor than
MPICH for our code." Jeff
Layton, Ph.D., Senior Engineer, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company |
| Mississippi State University | |
 |
"The computational time differed
between the two cases, probably because of the use of heterogeneous
machines. The computational work and the message passing were identical
for MPICH and MPI/Pro, except that there were a larger number of
iterations available for the MPI/Pro runs than for the MPICH because
they took less time." Clarence
O. E. Burg, Ph.D., Assistant Research Professor, Computational
Simulation and Design Center, Mississippi State University |
| Cornell Theory Center | |

"We use MPI/Pro message passing middleware
with commercial applications and fracture mechanics codes that run
in parallel on 256-processor Windows high performance computing
clusters. MPI/Pro is a highly reliable, commercially supported product
that provides our programmers with a fully compliant implementation
of the MPI standard in all areas, including error handling. The
engineers at Verari Systems continually update their products to
use the latest Microsoft technologies such as .NET. We also use
ClusterCoNTroller, the only job scheduling software written around
the Windows operating system, which leverages Windows security features.
It enables us to increase our productivity and reduce systems administration
costs. Based on our interaction with the developers at Verari Systems,
we have the highest confidence in the quality of their products
and look forward to future technology innovations." Gerd Heber, Ph.D., Research Associate,

"I was able to compile and load an FFT test routine onto another vendor's board and run benchmark tests. The function call changes were seamless between the competing VSIPL version and VSI/Pro, with the exception of the vsip_init and vsip_finalize changes. That's very good to see." Pamela Patton, Harris Corporation |

"VSI/Pro from Verari Systems Software is easily the most flexible and robust high performance math library on the market. VSI/Pro provided me with the solution I needed where other products had failed. The product is so easy to install and use. In addition, the support that we have received from Verari has been very prompt and effective. I would recommend buying VSI/Pro over other competing math libraries for its professional support, portability, and performance."
