Symmetric Computing is in the business of providing access to its clients to the firm's large, shared-memory Departmental Supercomputers - enabling affordable supercomputing at readonable cost across a range of disciplines - science and industrial sectors, including bioinformatics, engineering, energy, earth science and financial analysis. The firm creates large shared-memory, multi-core high performance computers by marrying state-of-the-art, off-the-shelf server hardware with the firm's patent-pending Distributed Symmetric Multi-Processing extension to the Linux kernel. implementation of Symmetric Multi-Processing is at the Operating System-level which is inherently faster than hypervisor implementations.
