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." </ul></i>
