SiCortex Signs European Reseller Agreement

SiCortex, the first company to engineer a Linux(R) cluster from
the silicon up, today announced that it has entered into an agreement
with MEGWARE, a leading European high performance computing systems
integrator, to sell SiCortex's family of ultra compact, high
performance Linux systems to the European market. MEGWARE will
distribute SiCortex's products in Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
Poland and the Czech Republic.

"We expect SiCortex's products to be very well received in the
European market," said Dirk Viertel, MEGWARE managing director. "Power
consumption has become an increasing concern in Europe, and SiCortex's
ability to dramatically reduce power usage while providing
industry-leading performance enables us to offer a unique solution to
our customers."

Since 1990 MEGWARE has been providing systems integration services
to customers throughout Europe, with a specialty in HPC clusters. The
company designs and builds custom systems as well as reselling systems
and components from leading vendors. MEGWARE's projects include
cluster systems for the automotive, aircraft and aerospace industries,
including Czech Republic automaker SKODA, Volkswagen AG and Voith
Turbo Marine. MEGWARE has also assembled a supercomputer for the Max
Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam, Germany. This
compute cluster with 772 CPU cores reaches a Linpack benchmark
performance of 6,52 TeraFlop/s, and is ranked 192nd on the Top500 List
of the world's fastest supercomputers.

"Our agreement with MEGWARE is an important step for SiCortex,"
said SiCortex CEO Dr. John Mucci. "Europe represents a significant
market opportunity for us, and working with one of Germany's leading
systems integrators is the ideal introduction."

SiCortex has introduced a new concept in high performance
computing, limiting power consumption and physical size to gain
performance. The company has implemented a complete cluster node on a
chip, including six 64-bit processors, multiple memory controllers, a
high performance cluster interconnect and a PCIexpress connection to
storage and internetworking. A SiCortex cluster node consumes 15 watts
of power, an order of magnitude less than the 250 watts used in a
conventional cluster node. The SC5832 can perform six trillion
operations per second in a cabinet that is less than one-third the
size of conventional clusters.
