Description
Created in 1992, Eurotech is a global company that operates in multiple countries. It follows the technological paradigm of Pervasive Computing. The concept of pervasive or ubiquitous computing, involves miniaturisation and the distribution in the environment of intelligent devices and their possibility of communicating. In this respect, NanoPCs and HPCs are the two major classes of devices that, by connecting to and co-operating, form a computing infrastructure labeled the pervasive GRID or pervasive computing grid.
History
Summarize
Perspective
1998
Eurotech signed distribution agreements in America, Asia and Australia. Eurotech set up Neuricam S.p.A., a spin-off of the Trento institute for scientific and technological research.[1]
1999
Eurotech started to co-operate with INFN (Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics) for the study and implementation of its third generation of Array Processor Experiment supercomputers, called APEmille.[2] Eurotech's HPC business unit began with this cooperation.[3]
2005
The company presented its apeNEXT supercomputer, realized in collaboration with INFN. A research centre on pervasive computing was activated at Nanjing University of Technology (NJUT) in China. The group created a Scientific Committee dedicated to identifying future trends. To finance its international growth, Eurotech went public on 30 November. The company is listed in the Star segment (high performance equities segment) of the Italian Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana), raising 23.64 million Euros at IPO.[4]
2006
Eurotech acquired Arcom Control Systems Ltd (based in Cambridge, England) and Arcom Control Systems Inc. (based in Kansas, US).[5]
2008
The company presented Janus, the new generation of supercomputers born from an Italian-Spanish collaboration involving several universities and research institutes. Eurotech completed the merger between United States-based subsidiaries Arcom Control Systems Inc and Applied Data Systems into Eurotech Inc, which became the main US subsidiary. On 5 November, Finmeccanica acquired 11.1% of Eurotech.[6]
2013
Eurotech scored both the first and second place of the Green 500, the ranking of the most energy efficient supercomputers in the world, with the Eurora supercomputer installed at CINECA and the Aurora Tigon supercomputer installed at the Finmeccanica company Selex ES, specialised in information technology and security. Eurora, the supercomputer of CINECA, entered in first place with 3210 MFlop/s per watt, while the system of Selex ES, Aurora Tigon, was ranked second with a value of 3180 MFlop/s per Watt.[7] Eurotech has signed an agreement with Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. – a segment of Curtiss-Wright Corporation – for the sale of 100% of the share capital of Parvus Corporation, the American fully owned subsidiary of the Eurotech Group specialized in embedded computers and COTS subsystems for the US Defence market.[8]
