Liquid Computing to Unveil New Server Architecture at HPCS 2006

Ottawa, Canada– May 10, 2006 – Liquid Computing Corp., a developer of a new class of scalable server for High Performance Computing, will be participating in next week’s High Performance Computing Symposium (HPCS) being held at Memorial University in Newfoundland. At the event, Liquid Computing will unveil its new Interconnect Driven Server architecture in its presentation "Thirst No Longer" on May 15th at 3:30 p.m.

Mike Kemp, Liquid Computing’s CTO will be offering the first in depth introduction to the disruptive system architecture that is currently being rolled out to Beta customers around the world. This new system architecture is slated to change the fundamental form, function and economics of computing.

LiquidIQ is designed to eliminate communications and control bottlenecks pervasive in computing today. It offers unparalleled performance scalability and set of control characteristics that no other company has been able to offer. With LiquidIQ, HPC users can expect to achieve industry leading benchmarks and unbound performance throughput under sustained system load. The server will allow users to exploit as many processors as they can cost effectively deploy to reduce clock time or enhance simulation realism. With its unique architecture, the underlying communications network shields users from having to code around network bottlenecks and it ensures quality of service for concurrent applications running on the system. Liquid Computing is ultimately delivering scalable computing without compromise.
