We power the VIPER using the new AMD Opteron 880 series CPU chips! ...faster than fast: eight (8) dual core CPUs running at aggregate speeds up to 5.6-GHz each VIPER is both the perfect supercomputer AND compute node for a SCALABLE GRID Supercomputer™ ! Best of all, it can grow with you. It is Tri-scalable™: go from single core CPUs to dual core CPUs, from 4 CPUs to 8 CPUs, from a single system to up to 256 in a Grid Supercomputer, and from one to 255 GRIDS in a Large SUPER-GRID-ARRAY!
