Abstract
The Exemplar Technical Servers from Hewlett-Packard address major computing challenges like compute, file, product data management, storage and intranet applications, and range from the entry-level D-Class systems to the high-end X-Class supercomputing level systems. This article focuses on the architecture and the system software of a new generation of parallel high-end systems: the S- and X-Class.
