The supercomputer will enable advanced fundamental and applied scientific research. The new facility was opened today by HRH Prince Willem-Alexander. Mr. L.M.L.H.A Hermans, minister of education, culture and science, also attended. The SGI(TM) supercomputer will help the Dutch academic community to understand and resolve the world's most complex scientific, technical and medical issues. Immediate areas of research will include climate research; computational medical science, water management and water quality calculations (areas of particular interest for the Prince); fluid dynamics and turbulence modeling; and computational chemistry, including drug design. The supercomputer, which is housed and operated by SARA, is one of the first European implementations of the new SGI Origin 3000 series and the first 1,024-processor SGI Origin 3000 series server to be installed worldwide. The SGI Origin 3000 series server is a highly scalable, high-performance SGI(TM) NUMA server with modular architecture, meaning each system can be tailored to exactly match performance and application requirements. The new supercomputer features 1,024 MIPS® processors that will deliver more than one TFLOPS (a trillion operations per second) of peak performance, 10TB (10,000GB) of online storage and 100TB of near-line StorageTek storage. ......
