whitepaper Supercomputing Center Sees 46 Percent Performance Gain With HPC System2009-05-01 Microsoft
  The Las Vegas, Nevada - based National Supercomputing Center for Energy and the Environment is a full-service supercomputing facility with a mission for excellence in education and research. The National Supercomputing Center for Energy and the Environment wanted to expand the types of systems that it uses to include smaller, powerful computers that are easy for researchers to use. The center opted to test the Cray CX1 deskside supercomputer with Windows HPC Server 2008 and was impressed with the results. The new system is 46 percent faster in the delivery of complex analyses, resulting in greater researcher productivity.

whitepaper University Improves Research and Saves 30 Per Cent of Budget With a High-Performance Computing Cluster2008-10-07 Dell
  The department of physics at University Alexandru Ioan Cuza of Iasi was looking for a cost-effective way to build a supercomputer that was powerful enough to run complex mathematical research simulation and give researchers the opportunity to join European research on magnetic fields. Building a computing cluster with Dell PowerEdge 2950 and 1950 servers provided a high-performance supercomputer that cost 30 per cent less than other solutions.

whitepaper Application Sensitivity to Link and Injection Bandwidth on a Cray XT4 System2008-05-01 Sandia National Laboratories
  This paper describes the efforts to characterize application sensitivity to link and injection bandwidth on a Cray XT4 system. Link bandwidth is controlled by modifying the number of rails activated per network link. Injection bandwidth is controlled by modifying the speed of the HyperTransport connection between the Opteron and the SeaStar. A suite of micro-benchmarks and applications is evaluated at several different operating points. The experimental techniques developed by this paper are expected to be useful for future architecture research.

whitepaper Leading University Creates UK's Fastest Academic Supercomputer Through Collaborative Partnership2008-04-30 Dell
  Cambridge University has had supercomputers for use in complex research since 1992. Undertaking ground breaking research, users require cutting edge technology that provides optimum performance. At the end of a three-year system cycle, the university looked to implement a new system that would improve upon previous levels of high performance. The university implemented Dell PowerEdge servers in a high performance computing cluster that has become the fastest academic supercomputer in the country. Through a collaborative relationship, Dell and Cambridge University have created a reference design for future large scale high performance computing clusters.

whitepaper High Performance File I/O for the Blue Gene/L Supercomputer2008-01-01 IBM
  Parallel I/O plays a crucial role for most data-intensive applications running on massively parallel systems like Blue Gene/L that provides the promise of delivering enormous computational capability. This paper demonstrates the impact of the high performance I/O solution for Blue Gene/L with a comprehensive evaluation that consists of a number of widely used parallel I/O benchmarks and I/O intensive applications. The design and implementation is not only able to deliver at least one order of magnitude speed up in terms of I/O bandwidth for a real-scale application HOMME, but also supports high-level parallel I/O data interfaces such as parallel HDF5 and parallel NetCDF scaling up to a large number of processors.

whitepaper Leibniz Computing Center Achieves 10x Faster Supercomputer Data Services With NetApp Solution0000-00-00 NetApp
  The Leibniz Computing Center provides IT services for Munich universities and for the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The challenge was to implement a storage solution to deliver project file services in a 4,096-CPU SGI Altix 4700 supercomputing environment. Ensure highest data consistency and availability to support more than 120 technical and scientific High Performance Computing (HPC) projects. The solution to this was achieved by deploying a NetApp Data ONTAP GX system consisting of six nodes for high-performance file services and providing scalability and manageability with global namespace and flexible volume management.

whitepaper New Oil-Technology Becomes Real With Dell Cluster2007-07-18 Dell
  The technology company EMGS has developed a new technology that has made it possible to search and locate oil in places were oil companies previously have concluded that there is no oil to be found. The new method is based on electromagnetic signals. To transform electromagnetic signals into valuable information, powerful calculations are needed. To be able to perform the powerful electromagnetic signal calculations, EMGS chose to buy a new supercomputer from Dell - The SBL High Performance Computing Cluster, containing 530 Blade-type servers, each with two Intel Xeon processors and a storage capacity of 12 terabytes.

whitepaper Intel Helps BMW Sauber F1 Team Move Up the Starting Grid0000-00-00 Intel
  Like its competitors, the BMW Sauber F1 Team's success depends heavily on the aerodynamic design of its racing cars - essential in a sport where the difference between success and defeat can be a tenth of a second. Together with Intel, the team looks continuously at ways in which technology can improve the design process, ultimately moving it further up the grid in the Constructors' Championship. Over a four-month period, the BMW Sauber F1 Team and Intel evaluated the performance of the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series to power the team's supercomputer cluster. They found that the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series performed three times faster than the existing server processor running FLUENT - the team's CFD application.

whitepaper Novell Case Study: Swinburne University of Technology0000-00-00 Novell
  Melbourne-based Swinburne University of Technology has more than 45,000 students and 2,000 staff located across six campuses. The university's previous supercomputer cluster, based on a combination of legacy and proprietary technology, lacked compatibility with newer Linux-based systems and was costly to maintain. By introducing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the university reduced costs and increased its supercomputing performance capabilities, securing Swinburne's position as one of Australia's top research-based institutions.
