For Immediate Release

Ciara Technologies Announces the Opening of its High Performance

Computing (HPC) Benchmarking Center

New VXRACK Benchmarking Center (VBC-5) Provides Access

To More Than Five TeraFLOPS of Processing Power

Montreal, Canada — November 9, 2004 —

Ciara Technologies, a leading

provider of high-density rack-mounted computer servers and supercomputer

clusters, today announced plans to open a state of the art HPC benchmarking

center in Montreal during the first quarter of 2005.

The VXRACK Benchmark Center (VBC-5) will provide businesses, government

agencies and academic institutions with access to one of the world’s most

powerful benchmark supercomputers (the VXR-3DT™ and VXRACK™ systems)

based on the latest technology from Intel.

By creating this new facility, Ciara hopes to establish a new international center

for R&D excellence whereby anyone who wants access to a high performance

computing (HPC) system can do so without being hampered by technical

accessibility or steep costs. The center will house the company’s new VXR-3DT,

one of the world’s most powerful and innovative computing architecture that can

scale up to 19,440 Intel

EM64T Xeon™ processors while providing users with

more than 140 TeraFLOPS of computing power.

“We are building a world-class benchmark complex and R&D facility right here in

Montreal,” said Patrick Scateni, VXR-3DT Co-creator and Director of Business

Development for Ciara Technologies. “We took over a facility from Nortel

Networks back in 2003 and are extending its datacenter capabilities 10 fold. The

facility will act as a ‘bulletproof’ IT haven for companies who need to test,

benchmark and conduct world-class R&D projects not only in North America but

throughout the world.”

“This is groundbreaking news,” said Darcy Letemplier, VXR-3DT Co-Creator and

Director of New Technology Development for Ciara. “With innovations such as

VXR-3DT and VXRACK combined with next generation Intel EM64T Xeon

processor-based platform, this benchmark facility will deliver enough

computational performance to meet any customer requirement.”

The VXRACK Benchmark Center will give users access up to 640 Intel EM64T

Xeon processors in a 3D Torus with a Dual Rail Infiniband Architecture. The

VBC-5 will also host more than 200 Intel

EM64T Xeon processors in a more

standard network, based on InfiniBand and Gigabit. In total, the VXRACK

Benchmark Center will provide in excess of five TeraFLOPS of processing power

dedicated for benchmark purpose only.

The VXRACK Benchmark Center will address markets that require access to

affordable HPC power including; virtual prototyping, signal processing, financial

services, data mining, petro-chemical and pharmaceutical research, bio

technologies, bio engineering, genomic research, image processing, high-end

video editing, post-production and academic or governmental organizations

looking to conduct “pure” research.

“Our goal at Ciara Technologies is to bring high-performance computing (HPC) to

the masses,” said Robert Ahdoot, President of Ciara Technologies. “With the

launch of our VXR-3DT system and new data center facility, we have an

unbeatable combination for success. Moving forward, we even plan on offering

free CPU cycles from the VXR-3DT to our local community as a gesture of good

will and to promote regional R&D.”
