“The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Washington, D.C., is the
first customer under SGI’s global beta program to install a
128-processor single system image SGI Altix 3000
supercomputer…“‘Working with SGI, we have created a prototype for a
network-centric, shared memory, scalable supercomputer based on
next-generation Intel processors and the Linux open-source
operating system. This prototype will enable researchers to make
unprecedented breakthroughs in advanced science more quickly and
sustain gigabyte data flows necessary for optimum distributed
computing,’ said Dr. Hank Dardy, chief scientist for advanced
computing at NRL’s Center for Computational Science…”
