Tuesday July 14, 2009 Sultan Qaboos University gets HPC from Sun
Dr. Muataz Al-Barwani and the Sultan Qaboos University in Muscat have deployed Sun's High Performance Computers (HPC) to run their Physics applications:
Adds Dr. Al-Barwani, "Many factors contributed to our choice of vendor, including a specification that met our needs, total cost of ownership and more importantly; the high level of support for the product. Sun met all these requirements and the offering was the best in terms of overall performance it was going to provide. It exceeded what any other vendors had offered."
As part of Phase I of the project Sun deployed a Sun Blade 6000 HPC Blade Cluster. The cluster is configured using Intel Xeon processors, low latency and high throughput DDR InfiniBand fabric. The workload resources are managed by the Sun Grid Engine resource manager. The system includes SUN HPC cluster tools, Sun Studio 12 Compilers and other development tools. Full Story
