Raytheon Selects SGI Origin 3000 Series to Modernize Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory biz.yahoo.com Clusters of 1,152 SGI Processors to Improve Understanding of Weather/Climate MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- SGI (NYSE: SGI - news) today announced that Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTNA; RTNB) has selected the SGI(TM) Origin(TM) 3000 series and its breakthrough SGI(TM) NUMAflex(TM) modular technology to upgrade the supercomputing capabilities of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in Princeton, N. J. The upgrade is expected to improve the nation's climate prediction and weather forecasting capabilities. Eight 128-processor SGI(TM) Origin(TM) 3800 systems will form a large-scale cluster and two 64-processor SGI Origin 3800 systems will serve as an analysis cluster. The smaller analysis cluster will also serve GFDL's data archive that is stored in three robotic tape libraries and is expected to reach 2PB in size by September 2003. The SGI Origin 3800 systems will have the ability to perform more than 900 billion floating-point arithmetic operations per second (900 GFLOP) and will have more than four times the performance of the three Cray® computers that they replace. ........
