Scalable Shared Memory Supercomputer Replacement for DOD Research

Abstract

This instrumentation grant has enabled a dramatic enhancement in in-house supercomputing power at ACMS. The SGI ONXY2 22-processor system with 7 Gbytes of memory was replaced by the new SGI Altix 32-Itanium processor system with 64 Gbytes of memory. The combination of higher speed process (factor of 6), higher interprocessor bandwidth and much larger accessible shared memory (64 Gbytes) has meant that problems that were previously inaccessible are now well within reach.
