"Compaq’s effort to maintain its strong position in the technical server market has been validated for the second consecutive year with it achieving industry-leading performance as the No. 1 vendor in high-performance server revenue as reported in our 2001 Technical Systems and Servers Year in Review Report," said IDC’s Debra Goldfarb, group vice president, Worldwide Enterprise Systems. "We have every expectation that Compaq will continue to be intensely focused on this segment through strong partnerships, innovation in important emerging technologies, such as grids and clusters, and by staying close to its customers."
Proof of leadership
Recent Compaq projects in the supercomputing segment include:
A system capable of performing 6 trillion operations per second (6 TeraOPS) called the Terascale Computing System, which is now running at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC). It is the world’s largest unclassified supercomputer designed for open research.
In another project at the PSC, we are collaborating on a project called CASP5, which is intended to provide large-scale computational resources to accurately predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins.
The State of New York selected Compaq supercomputing systems to power the Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics in Buffalo to enable new drug discoveries, innovative medical treatments and specialized computer products.
Built the most powerful supercomputer in Europe for the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) to perform the digital simulation and testing of nuclear weapons. The system is capable of executing 5 trillion operations per second.
Genoscope, the French National Sequencing Center, added eight AlphaServer systems to multiply its computing power by a factor of five.
The ASCI "Q" system at Los Alamos National Laboratory designed for the modeling and simulation of nuclear testing. When completed later this year, it is expected to be the world’s fastest and most powerful supercomputer – capable of more than 30 trillion operations per second (30 TeraOPS)
The Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC) supercomputer designed for research in chemistry, physics, engineering, environmental sciences, astronomy and finance. When completed, it will be the largest supercomputer in Australia
