whitepaper Dell Helps University Create a Superhuman Machine2008-01-31 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.

whitepaper This Might Be the Last Place You'd Expect to Find an Intel Processor2008-01-01 Intel
  Finding a processing platform that runs so efficiently has been challenging for developers like GD Canada. Proprietary technology can offer the performance and power efficiency needed, but such solutions are often vendor-specific, take a very long time to develop and deploy, and can be quite costly to maintain, let alone upgrade. Intel really attacked the thermal output and power consumption problem when they came out with the Intel Pentium M processor and associated chipsets. Shortly after Intel launched the Intel Pentium M processor, the U.S. Army announced the Future Combat System (FCS) program, a move to standardize the Army's entire vehicle computing infrastructure on a common product.
