3: System Overview
within the same chassis and also between compute blades in separate enclosures or separate rack
assemblies.
The SGI ICE XA series systems can run parallel programs using a message passing tool like the
Message Passing Interface (MPI). The SGI ICE XA blade system uses a distributed memory
scheme as opposed to a shared memory system like that used in the SGI UV series of
high-performance compute servers. Instead of passing pointers into a shared virtual address space,
parallel processes in an application pass messages and each process has its own dedicated
processor and address space. This chapter consists of the following sections:
