<font color=orange>New Supercomputer on Display at SC2000 Uses WulfKit by Dolphin Interconnect And Scali THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2000 3:03:00 PM EST DALLAS, Nov 9, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Dolphin Interconnect announces the world's largest custom supercomputer cluster based on the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Athlon(TM) processor, which is being unveiled at the Super Computing 2000 (SC2000) show in Dallas. The supercomputer physically comprises four standard racks containing 132 processor units in a parallel cluster architecture interconnected with high-speed WulfKit Scalable Coherent Interface (SCI) technology supplied by Dolphin Interconnect of Westlake Village, California, dolphinics.com . "This is the most significant installation for Dolphin since WulfKit was introduced at SC99," said Keith Murphy, vice president of sales and marketing for Dolphin. "The size and performance of this supercomputer cluster shows the exceptional performance and scalability that can be cost-effectively achieved using Dolphin SCI technology." WulfKit, a complete hardware and software package for building clusters, uses SCI "tuned" MPI middleware and cluster management software developed by Scali, SA in Oslo, Norway. The system, already christened "SAMPSON" will be installed at the Bartol Research Institute at the University of Delaware and is expected to rank among the world's top 100 supercomputers once its performance is benchmarked. According to University Provost Mel Schiavelli, the parallel supercomputer cluster "will solidify the University of Delaware's position as a leader in new technology, providing important computer power for UD researchers and students in physics, engineering and computer sciences." SAMPSON is made possible by a Major Research Infrastructure grant from the National Science Foundation. AMD is also contributing to the project by donating half of the Athlon processors, according to University sources. Assembly and testing of the supercomputer was accomplished by RackSaver located in San Diego, California. The fully assembled system is on display in the RackSaver booth at the SC2000 show (booth 734).
