The corrected release reads: INTEL ESAA ESAA Environmental Services Association of Alberta (Canada) ESAA Enterprise Server Acceleration Alliance (Intel) ESAA English Schools' Athletic Association (UK) PROGRAM CERTIFIES SILVERSTORM TECHNOLOGIES' INTERCONNECTS FOR ITS HPC (Handheld PC) A palmtop computer that weighs less than one pound and runs specialized versions of popular applications. Microsoft coined the term for its Windows CE operating system, which is an abbreviated version of Windows. See Pocket PC. SOLUTION OFFERING SilverStorm Technologies, a leader in high performance interconnect solutions for clustered computing, announced today the company's second release of High Performance Computing (HPC) recipe documentation to support the Intel(R) Enabled Server Acceleration Alliance (Intel(R) ESAA) program. The new SilverStorm cluster computing Cluster Computing: the Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications is a journal for parallel processing, distributed computing systems, and computer communication networks. interconnect recipes focus on HPC solutions that are fully configured, tested, and supported by SilverStorm and its partners. Intel will distribute the recipes to Intel's global ESAA program OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and channel partners, who will market and sell the supported solutions to end user customers. ESAA is a collaborative alliance that streamlines technical certification and validation of reliable, high-quality, server solutions to end user customers. ESAA allows Intel OEM partners to quickly deliver pre-configured, trusted solutions to their customers. OEM partners are assured that ESAA solutions consist of equipment and software from Intel-trusted technology partners, and end user customers are assured the whole solution is supported. SilverStorm and Intel are working together on multiple fronts to bring the highest in reliability and performance to their joint customers. Intel operates an HPC benchmark cluster currently listed in the world's TOP100 list of largest supercomputers. The cluster is built with 256 dual-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5100 series processors and interconnected with SilverStorm InfiniBand infrastructure. This cluster is available to Intel customers for application benchmarking and interoperability testing. Through joint initiatives, SilverStorm and Intel are expanding the reach of HPC by targeting Intel's OEM partners who might not otherwise have the ability or time to certify solutions themselves in this market segment. "SilverStorm is an active and strategic joint developer with Intel in implementing and supporting the ESAA Program," said David L. Brown, EPSD EPSD Electronics and Power Sources Directorate EPSD Environmental Partnership for Sustainable Development Marketing Director, Intel. "SilverStorm's interconnect solutions have proven to be a highly reliable option for our customers. The initial HPC recipes published by Intel will consist of 16-, 32-, and 64-node clusters running top-of-the-line Intel processors."
