U.S. Navy Upgrades High-Performance Computing Center Powered Exclusively By SGI Graphics Systems biz.yahoo.com New SGI Onyx 3400 Systems Help Reduce Risks, Costs of U.S. Military Aircraft Programs MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- SGI (NYSE: SGI - news) today announced that the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWC-AD), Patuxent River, Md., has built on the already extensive capabilities of its high-performance computing center with the addition of two SGI(TM) Onyx® 3000 series visualization systems. Among the many applications for the new SGI(TM) Onyx® 3400 supercomputers, NAWC-AD's Air Combat Environment Test and Evaluation Facility (ACETEF) will use the machines to test and evaluate advanced next-generation U.S. military aircraft such as the F-18 E/F, Joint Strike Fighter and V-22. ........ From what I've heard the current generic description behind the direction of Military strategy is called kick the door down. Go in with small stealth craft. (117 v-22) Go in with bigger stealth craft (b2). And then send in everything else. I see simulation and simulation and simulation. Now if Sgi continues to increase the flops per cubic inch using less power per cubic inch I see embedded cc-numa in the delivery systems and the support vehicle for the delivery systems and in the system that simulate the system and in the systems that are used to code test and integrate the systems. And all this is about big boy toy stories. I've also seen more and more SW1600 flats in more and more financial companies during expert?? talking head telling us whatever. tom watson tosiwmee
