Super Duper Computing Station

Today, Inveneo is proud to introduce the Super-Duper Performance Computing Station exclusively for sub-Saharan Africa use. Based on the Cray Pi supercomputer, the Inveneo Super-Duper Performance Computing Station generates 3.14159265 petaflops of computing power utilizing over 1 million Intel 4004 microprocessors in a redundant centrifugal cluster, reminiscent of the original Cray design.

“This awesome computing power – the greatest man has ever known – will silence critics who assume the developing world is getting second best,” said Inveneo CEO and co-founder Kristin Peterson. “The Inveneo Super-Duper Performance Computing Station will be available exclusively to rural and underserved communities first. To increase its appropriateness, we’ve reconfigured the hardware for our core clients so it will not quit, even if they sit.”

The Inveneo Super-Duper Performance Computing Station has these key design modifications that increase its usefulness to for organizations that provide vital services – education, healthcare, economic development – in the developing world.

  1. Low-power operation: Using an innovative energy capture system to harness hype, Inveneo is able to power the system solely off the energy of Mac fanboys, starting with our CIO, Mark Summer.
  2. Full Goat*Net compliance: Right out of the box, the system self-connects to Inveneo’s ever expanding Goat*Net, long-distance WiFi network
  3. Comfortable form factor: The cold plastic and metal of traditional computers has been replaced with soft cushions and easily-cleaned fabric, and the original Cray form factor is resurrected so the computer can also be a couch during offline community meetings

The Inveneo Super-Duper Performance Computing Station will be available through our network of Inveneo Certified ICT Partners. Contact them for local pricing.
