NASA Selects SGI Supercomputer
NASA's new SGI Altix system is a computer nerd's wet dream, with 1024 dual core processors and 4TB of memory, the first thing I'd do with it is start Folding for Team 33.
NASA's new SGI Altix system is a computer nerd's wet dream, with 1024 dual core processors and 4TB of memory, the first thing I'd do with it is start Folding for Team 33.
Driven by 1,024 Dual-Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors, the new system will generate 13.1 TFLOPs of compute power. The system's dual-core processors allow more computing power per square foot, enabling NASA to pack more computing power into its supercomputing center. NASA also acquired an ultra-dense 240TB SGI(R) InfiniteStorage 10000 system to efficiently handle the massive data storage requirements.
