GridComputingPlanet.com: Platform Computing To Manage AstraZeneca Compute Farms

“AstraZeneca will use Platform LSF on three
heterogeneous compute farms, two in England and one in Sweden.
These sites include:

Alderley Park, Cheshire, UK: AstraZeneca’s Enabling Science and
Technology department has invested in 130 Platform LSF licenses to
manage its compute farm, consisting of 110 IBM Linux servers and 8
SGI IRIX servers. The computing power created by this farm is used
for chemo-informatics, molecular modeling and accelerating high
throughput structure-based drug discovery and design.

Blackley, UK: The Discovery Information Systems department near
Manchester runs a compute farm consisting of 204 Compaq ES40
servers, with more than 200 Platform LSF licenses. AstraZeneca
sites all over the world use the compute power provided for
bio-informatics.”
