Evaluating High Performance Computing Systems at the Naval Research Laboratory

Abstract

As a leading edge center within the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), the Center for Computational Science (CCS) of the Naval Research Laboratory evaluates new high performance computing (HPC) assets. The center is currently evaluating two systems - an Altix 3700 running the SUSE Linus Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 operating systems and a Cray XD1. With respect to the Altix system, Naval Research Laboratory is looking at applications requiring large memory and testing the new Intel 10.0 compilers. For the XD1, we are examining the applicability of dual core processors and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to HPC applications.
