November 18, 2014 | The Israeli provider of Ethernet and InfiniBand computer network switches, Mellanox, has been chosen to become part of a US government program to construct supercomputers. The supercomputers will be used at two of the country’s leading labs, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The US Department of Energy will allocate up to $425 million for the High Performance Computing project, with the goal, “to advance US leadership in scientific research and promote America’s economic and national security.” As part of the project, Mellanox will work together with IBM and NVIDIA. Mellanox was founded in 1999 by Eyal Waldman, Shani Cohen and Roni Ashuri and has a current market cap of $1.9 billion.
