Push past research boundaries with leading-edge AI and HPC solutions
Thanks to recent advances in computing, universities and research groups are tackling some of the world’s most challenging issues in basic and applied sciences.
But data-driven projects in astrophysics, computational biology and chemistry, health sciences, materials and manufacturing, and many more can only be as productive as the computing infrastructure used to run the calculations, simulations, models, and experiments.
To fuel these advancements and spark breakthroughs – as well as train the next generation of innovators – organizations need to have access to as much of the latest AI and HPC solutions as possible. That’s why so many turn to Silicon Mechanics.
Whether you’re looking for a solution for HPC or AI inference, the Linux-based Atlas AI Cluster is a great choice. It includes best-of-breed technology (including the NVIDIA® HGX™ A100 and AMD EPYC™) and is configured for fast deployment, powerful results, and scalability to any size.

The turn-key Luna HPC Cluster eliminates design/procurement issues for faster time-to-results. Its combination of well-balanced, tried-and-tested hardware and software components also gives you high performance as well as easy scalability and management, for great ROI.
Secure supply chain and faster time-to-results with the Luna HPC Cluster.
Software-defined architecture based on the massively scalable, parallel Weka file system (WekaFS) (via NVMe-over-fabric) makes the Triton Big Data Cluster ideal for HPC with large datasets or for AI training (which requires large datasets).
Manage workloads even with the largest datasets with the Triton Big Data Cluster.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) workloads are proving unsuitable for public cloud computing. For CFD and similar workloads, it can be far more effective to build a balanced, efficient on-premises cluster to run your jobs. The Cygnus CFD Cluster is a balanced configuration, purpose-designed for cost-effective simulations and engineering workloads.
Maximize the ROI of your CFD workloads with the Cygnus CFD Cluster.
