ccNUMA technology
Numascale, a Norwegian company, is developing an affordable hardware solution to transform distributed memory clusters into shared memory clusters. Within the cluster purchased for this project, 8 nodes (with 36 CPUs each) will use the numascale chip, thus creating a shared-memory machine with 288 (8*36) CPUs and 576GB of RAM.
