The innovative Versatile SMP™ (vSMP) architecture aggregates multiple x86 systems into a single virtual x86 system, delivering an industry-standard, high-end symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) computer. Using software to replace custom hardware and components, ScaleMP offers a new, revolutionary computing paradigm.

It is a software solution that enables the creation of a virtualized high-end SMP system by aggregating multiple x86-based systems to function as a single logical system. The aggregated system then will contain all the processors and memory from each individual system and thus will provide users with more processing power, memory footprint, and bandwidth. For users with memory-intensive applications, the vSMP Foundation platform can be a viable solution to address the memory requirements of those types of workloads. vSMP Foundation also provides access to high core counts for shared memory applications, such as Gaussian and other OpenMP codes. In addition, vSMP Foundation helps alleviate management complexity as users now only need to deal with a single system instead of managing a clustered environment, which brings down the total cost of ownership.

Currently, vSMP Foundation can aggregate up to 128 servers, 10240 cores and provides 64TB memory capacity.

Three distinctive solutions built on vSMP Foundation technology are offered today: vSMP Foundation for SMP, vSMP Foundation for Cluster management, and vSMP Foundation for Cloud. Specifically, vSMP Foundation for SMP focuses on creating a single virtualized SMP system by aggregating multiple x86 systems and offers cost savings and high-performance benefits. vSMP Foundation for Cluster focuses on providing easy manageability benefits for cluster users by creating a single operating system (OS) image for the multiple nodes that vSMP Foundation aggregates. It uses the operating system core functionality to provide job scheduling and resource management functions. The latest ScaleMP rollout based on the vSMP Foundation platform is vSMP Foundation for Cloud, a solution that focuses on the cloud computing environment. It allows on-the-fly aggregation requests from the cloud and enables CPU and memory scaling demanded by the workloads on the cloud.
