About Basement Supercomputing
We design High Performance Computing (HPC) software and clusters for customers who desire performance, value, support, and reliability. We achieve these goals by combining our seventeen years of parallel software development experience with our highly successful cluster design methodologies. We are located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Our Philosophy

We believe effective HPC solutions require good engineering and should be based on customer needs. An HPC cluster is composed of many independent components. Selecting the right hardware and software components requires making informed decisions. Our experience has shown that without proper testing and benchmarking many solutions are pure guesswork and the likelihood of success is low and the need for additional cost is high. We use our years of experience and benchmark data to determine the best solutions for your needs. We believe that good designs and feasibility studies save you money with hardware, software and deployment costs.

We also maintain hardware vendor independence as we do not sell hardware. We recommend hardware and software that is right for your application needs. Our approach is to use the best of commodity hardware and open-source software to deliver industrial strength solutions for your HPC needs. Customers can expect the following benefits from our approach:

  • Price-to-Performance - you will get the best performance for your dollar
  • Independence - you control your destiny, there is no vendor "lock in"
  • Support - your systems will be supported by qualified individuals
  • Reliability - systems will work for the life-cycle of the project

We look forward to helping you achieve your HPC success.

Why The Funny Name?

While the idea of a supercomputer in a basement seems absurd, the age of HPC clusters allows supercomputing capability to be applied almost anywhere. Supercomputing is no longer limited to large companies or government labs. It is cost effective tool for both large and small enterprises.
