“SGI has installed one of the first Intel Itanium-based
Linux clustered systems at a US university to test Linux clusters
as a replacement for MPP (massively parallel processor)
systems.”
“The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has installed a four-node
Linux cluster running on two Itanium processors per node. The
system will be used to run parallel scientific and engineering
codes.”
“The system will initially be used by OSC staff, but from next
month restricted numbers of academic researchers will be allowed to
port their applications on to the platform.”
