In einer Pressemitteilung gab AMD heute bekannt, dass das Los Alamos National Laboratory demnächst 2 Opteron Linux Cluster einsetzen wird. Der "Lightning" Cluster wird dabei mit über 2.800 Opteron Prozessoren von der Peakleistung her in die Topbereiche der leistungsfähigsten Supercomputer vorstossen. Der "Orange" Cluster wird der erste Opteron Cluster sein, bei dem die einzelnen Prozessorknoten per Infiniband verbunden werden.
"Sunnyvale, Ca -- August 14, 2003 --AMD) today announced that Los Alamos National Laboratory has selected the AMD Opteron processor for two separate large-scale Linux clusters. Combined, the two clusters are planned to include more than 3,300 AMD Opteron processors and will be used for numerous computing activities in support of medical, environmental and national defense modeling and simulation.
Following its planned installation in October, the “Lightning” cluster is expected to rank among the top supercomputers in the world. The cluster will support the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Advanced Simulation and Computing program, or ASCI, which helps ensure the safety and reliability of the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile. Lightning is expected to include more than 2,800 AMD Opteron processors and is designed to run at a theoretical peak of 11.2 teraFLOPS."
