Convey Computer Corporation: The Leader in Hybrid-Core Computing

Hybrid-core computing, Convey’s revolutionary server architecture, combines the familiar world of x86 computing with hardware-based, application-specific instructions to accelerate HPC applications. The result is a tightly integrated system that gives you many times the performance of a commodity server on key applications in oil & gas, financial analytics, bioinformatics, and other markets.

What makes hybrid-core computing unique? Convey systems use:

FPGAs for energy efficiency and performance boosts
industry-standard programming and the x86 ecosystem for productivity
application-specific instruction sets—or what we call personalities—specifically tailored to accelerate key application kernels
an architecture that adapts to workloads to leverage the efficiency of application-specific computing

Hybrid-Core Computing: Hybrid-core computing is the technique of extending a commodity instruction set (e.g. x86) with application-specific instructions to accelerate HPC applications.

Three of the world’s most prominent scientific organizations have selected the innovative Convey HC-1™ to power a fresh wave of scientific discovery. For full release, click here.
