In einem Online-Artikel des amerikanischen IT-Printmagazins InformationWeek wird berichtet, dass die Texas A&M University einen Linux-Cluster mit 128 Dual-Opteron Systemen am Ende dieses Monats einsatzbereit haben will.
Texas A&M University expects to have a high-performance computing cluster by the end of this month using 128 dual-processor Opteron servers running SuSE Linux that support 384 Gbytes of RAM. Texas A&M's College of Science will use the cluster to solve computational problems as well as run bioinformatics and physics apps. The university has clustered 32-bit AMD Athlon servers and wants to take advantage of the additional memory addressability that 64-bit computing provides. "At a university, price-performance is a major factor in our computing purchases," says Steven Johnson, senior systems analyst with Texas A&M's mathematics department. "The biggest benefit of Intel and AMD getting into the 64-bit market is to drive costs down."
