Next Generation Reconfigurable Compute Technology for Dramatic Application Speedup 
SGI® RASC™ (Reconfigurable Application Specific Compute) technology leverages the power of FPGAs which utilize gate array technology that can be reconfigured by the user for optimal performance on a specific algorithm. Unlike traditional processors, which are serial in nature, FPGAs are inherently parallel, allowing multiple functions to be performed simultaneously. Therefore, users whose applications spend a majority of their run time working on a set of specific algorithms can dramatically reduce application run time by custom configuring the RASC module to accelerate application run-time.

SGIUG™ June 5 - 9, 2006, Las Vegas, Nevada
If you were at our SGIUG Global Technical Conference last year in Munich, then you already know that SGIUG2006 will be the most dynamic event of the year! Sharpen your knowledge of High Performance Computing (HPC) and Data Lifecycle Management (DLM), share the latest advancements in SGI solutions and take home strategies and expertise to optimize the computing power for your organization. Last year, featured speakers from the world's most progressive companies inspired over 200 attendees with case studies and discussions on using SGI solutions and technologies to excel and gain competitive advantage.
