    Cluster for Supercomputer
    Sep 27, 1999, 21:09 UTC (3 Talkbacks)

    "One of the fastest computer systems in the world has just
    been acquired by the Department of Commerce to help the
    National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
    further improve existing weather forecast models and develop
    new ones, Commerce Secretary William M. Daley announced. The
    $15 million contract has been awarded to High Performance
    Technologies, Inc. (HPTi) of Reston, Va., to provide a High
    Performance Computing System to NOAA's Forecast Systems
    Laboratory (FSL), located in Boulder, Colorado."

    "This acquisition will help researchers improve forecasts of
    severe weather such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and winter
    storms, and ultimately, to save lives and property," said
    Daley. "It will also provide a boost to the American
    supercomputing industry," he added."

    "When the system is first installed, it will be running a
    third of a trillion arithmetic operations per second,
    providing a computer system that is 20 times more powerful
    than the computer system the Forecast System Laboratory
    presently uses. By the final upgrade in 2002, the HPTi
    supercomputer will be processing about four TeraFLOPS of
    data or four trillion arithmetic computations per second..."

    "Ty Rabe, Director of High Performance Computing Marketing
    at Compaq said, "Compaq's 'Better Answers' is not merely an
    advertising statement, it represents a mindset and
    commitment to our clients. We partnered with HPTi to provide
    a technologically superior solution to FSL. With this
    announcement Compaq demonstrates its commitment to providing
    Linux-based supercomputing systems, initially including
    Sandia's CPlant project, and now FSL. Compaq views these
    scalable Linux systems as an important part of our total
    supercomputing solutions package."
