SGI Altix Servers and Supercomputers provide core technology for Australia's APAC Grid 11/10/2005 by Parthajit Silicon Graphics announced that its SGI Altix supercomputers underpin a massive grid infrastructure currently under development in Australia. The Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC) National Grid aims to give researchers and scientists seamless access to the nation's most powerful computational and data resources. The APAC National Grid is supporting projects in six key research areas: astronomy, high-energy physics, bioinformatics, geosciences, chemistry, and earth systems, the company informed. Eight APAC research partners will make high-performance computing (HPC) resources available to grid users. Seven of those partners are able to incorporate SGI Altix supercomputers in their contributions to the grid, it was noted. The most recent addition to the APAC Grid resources -- the 160-processor SGI Altix system purchased at iVEC -- reportedly delivers a 20-fold increase in computing power over iVEC's existing resource. Much of the work undertaken on the APAC National Grid will involve the creation and analysis of ever-growing data sets. digitalmediaasia.com
