An Assessment of Leadership Performance With POWER6 Processors and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 | 2008-01-31 | IBM |
| Compute-intensive performance is increasingly required for today's high-performance environments. The IBM System p 570 with POWER6 processors provides leadership performance and demonstrates excellent scalability moving from one node to four nodes in this environment while providing linear SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessing) scaling and growth for workloads similar to the metrics used here. This paper highlights the exceptional performance on IBM's POWER6 processor-based systems running with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.1 operating system, based on recently audited published SPEC CPU2006 and SPECjbb2005 results, including single-system LINPACK metrics on System p 570 4-core, 8-core and 16-core systems. With Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) support turned on, Linux is easily able to provide effective scheduling support of the 32 processor threads seen on the 16-core 570 system.

Dell Helps University Create a Superhuman Machine | 2008-01-31 | Dell |
| The existing system at the Computational Laboratory for Analysis, Modeling, and Visualization (CLAMV) at Jacobs University in Bremen lacked sufficient computing power to satisfy rising demands. For various departments within the university to conduct a series of computer-aided simulation and modeling solutions, it needed to improve its processing power. They needed to continue making the institution's computer-aided simulation and modeling solutions available to its users in specialist disciplines. CLAMV turned to Dell for its solution and implemented a new high-performance cluster. The system is driven by 320 processor cores at 2.9 teraflops.
