“electricité de France S.A. is pleased to announce that
its new supercomputer, which is 200 Tflops and 43rd in the latest
TOP500 (June 2011) , is based on Debian Squeeze.

This supercomputer, called Ivanoe, is made of compute nodes,
graphical nodes, connexion servers and infrastructure servers. This
represents 1454 IDataPlex IBM Servers and 200 Tflops.

Compute nodes, graphical nodes and connexion servers are fully
diskless and bootstrap thanks to the “Debian Live Project” , but we
still have servers that are installed on disk thanks to “Fully
Automatic Installation” which are configured by “Puppet” .
