Getting Started with Star-P - from James River Technical and Interactive Supercomputing
Today, there are two distinct environments for technical computing:
the desktop, and the high-performance computing server. Desktop computing enables users to interact
directly with their data, and rapidly solve problems in an iterative manner. High performance
computing is used to solve the world's most challenging problems, leveraging a high degree
of parallelization, and operating primarily in batch mode. The Star-P platform delivers
the combined productivity of desktop tools with the power of high performance computing.
This new paradigm for technical application development enables scientists, engineers and
analysts to use familiar desktop tools to solve larger and more complex problems-resulting
in shorter time to insight.

Unleash New Levels of Productivity
 Transparently links desktop client applications with powerful Altix compute capabilities over a standard network for
immediate productivity. Turbo-boosts performance, with transparent, automatic parallelization of commands and functions.
Unified compute environment that supports the full analytic cycle from prototype to production.
Deliver Results in Breakthrough Time
Dramatically shortens time to solution by combining rapid model iteration on the desktop
with the ability to quickly solve large, complex compute problems.
Powered by SGI® Altix®, the industry's leading high performance compute platform, scales from 2 to
512 processors per system and up to 128TB of globally shared memory.
Maximize Investment Protection
Bridges popular scientific and engineering desktop computing tools such as Mathworks MATLAB®
and the powerful computing capability of the SGI® Altix® server. Choice of industry-standard
Linux operating systems, fully supported by SGI.
Leverages existing investment in development and eliminates the re-programming expense associated
with porting desktop application code to high performance computer
