Enterprise Linux Today: CEI Wins $1.4-Million ASCI Contract to Apply Beowulf Cluster for Visualization

"Results of research will be applicable to aerospace, automotive, chemical, scientific markets."

"Computational Engineering International (CEI) has won a three-year, $1.4-million contract to research the use of a Beowulf computer cluster to visualize large-scale models for the Department of Energy's Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI)."

"The new contract follows an earlier $1.8-million ASCI contract for advanced visualization on SMP (shared memory parallel) systems. Both projects center around CEI's EnSight Gold, a high-performance, multi-platform visualization and data analysis tool already used in the three primary ASCI labs: Los Alamos, Sandia and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories."
