Eurotech is a company dedicated to the research, development, production and marketing of miniature computers (NanoPCs) and high performance computers (HPCs).
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
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.[http://www.itc.it/irst/renderer.aspx?targetID=111 IRST])
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.{{cite web|url=http://apegate.roma1.infn.it/APE/|title=INFN APE group website|work=infn.it|access-date=24 June 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040213082535/http://apegate.roma1.infn.it/APE/|archive-date=13 February 2004|url-status=dead}} Eurotech's HPC business unit began with this cooperation.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurotech.com/it/sala+stampa/news/%3F508|title=Eurotech e AuroraScience installeranno un sistema HPC Aurora AU-5600 al LISC di Trento Eurotech|work=eurotech.com}}
