HPTi offers creative solutions to the challenges of extreme scientific and technical computing.  HPTi has earned a reputation for creating outstanding solutions by combining their understanding of HPC architectures with their knowledge of the unique demands of the various computational sciences.

Aspen Systems built a Linux cluster for HPTi to integrate at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL). HPTi provided FSL with an Aspen Systems Linux cluster with HPTi system architecture that could grow with their computational demands over the next five years and enable it to lead the development of the next generation of mesoscale models. NOAA's Director described the system as the future of American supercomputing, noting that it will allow FSL to continue to pioneer the application of parallel computing technology for weather forecasting.

The cluster built for HPTi by Aspen Systems was listed as the 8th fastest supercomputer in the world on the November 2002 TOP500.org supercomputer list. This cluster was also listed as the 2nd fastest Intel-based system ever developed.  Aspen Systems not only provided HPTi with one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, but we also met a very tight delivery schedule. Aspen Systems' cluster includes 768 dual 2.2 GHz Xeon^TM nodes with calculating speeds of 3.3 Teraflops (3.3 trillion calculations per second). A supercomputer that operates at this speed can be used for weather forecasting, oceanic research and other climate-based modeling, among many other applications that demand high-performance scientific and technical computing.

In 2004 Aspen Systems teamed with HPTi again to deliver eJet, a 317 node dual 3.2 GHz Xeon EM64T Beowulf cluster.
