ClearSpeed Advance™ X620 and e620 Accelerators
Designed to work in conjunction with industry standard systems based on 32 and 64 bit x86 processors, ClearSpeed Advance™ cards accelerate the most computationally intensive applications. ClearSpeed offers its HPC accelerator hardware in convenient PCI card formats, both PCI-X for legacy installations and PCIe for the most recent clusters. Both cards support the same dual CSX600 processor and deliver over 80 GFLOPS sustained double precision performance.
ClearSpeed Software
ClearSpeed cards support BLAS and LAPACK host libraries such as ACML and MKL. There are also libraries of vector exponential, trigonometric, logarithmic and random number functions. For the developer there is the most complete toolchain available for any accelerator, including a C compiler, linker, loader, and world class visual debugger and profiler to help you extract the most out of your ClearSpeed accelerator and x86 hardware.
Applications
Many ClearSpeed customers accelerate their applications using either the Plug and Play libraries or the Software Development Kit. For those who want to interact at a higher level, ClearSpeed has a ported a number of commercial and academic applications to exploit the massive floating-point performance of the Advance™ cards.
