SGI News Flash: SGI Systems Anchor Center for Computational Biology At Montana State University Compute and Visualization Power Sheds Light on Complex Biological Systems MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SGI (NYSE: SGI - news) today announced that Montana State University has installed a 32-processor SGI(TM) Origin(TM) 2000, an SGI(TM) Origin(TM) 200 and several Silicon Graphics® Octane® and O2® visual workstations as the technological cornerstone of their Center for Computational Biology. With the acquisition of the SGI(TM) systems, the Center becomes one of the largest computer installations in the state of Montana. Areas of research now benefiting from the new compute power include bioinformatics, analysis and modeling of biological systems, computational chemistry and computational neuroscience. The ability to handle large quantities of data and visualize that data as an insightful model is critical in the study of extremely complex biological systems. With the aid of these powerful tools, researchers can now study how mechanisms underlying complex biological phenomena function. Based on the breakthrough ccNUMA architecture, Origin 2000 and Origin 200 systems provide the highest level of performance available to the scientific research community -- ensuring a powerful, stable and extremely scalable compute environment. The Octane and O2 workstations provide the powerful visualization element necessary to extract insight from the massive amounts of data generated. The Montana State University Center for Computational Biology is an interdisciplinary unit that develops and applies complex computer methods to research on biological systems. Established in January 1997, the Center uses the Internet, telecommunications and digital techniques to analyze and view massive amounts of experimental data, and to formulate and test theoretical models.
