Sun Supercomputer does 'Flight and Flow' Simulation In Germany
Sun Microsystems has won the first contract in Germany for the installation of a HPC cluster for commercial applications based on Sun's Petascale architecture. The Petascale architecture was developed in-house at Sun under the name "Sun Constellation System," and was presented to the public for the first time at the International Supercomputing Conference in Dresden, Germany last year. The Center for Computer Applications in Aerospace Science and Engineering (C²A²S²E), supported by Airbus, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the state of Lower Saxony, is investing EUR 5.2 million in the new supercomputer that has a compute capacity of 46.6 TFlops.
