The US SGI Company recently announced the Japanese Atomic Institute * 1 will adopt the SGI Altix Series Super Computer as a core computing platform for its energy development research.
Through the bidding, Fujitsu companies and SGI Japanese companies will deliver 2,048 Intel Anteng 2 processors to Japan atomic research, with industry-standard Linux as the operating system, with the world's largest memory - 13 TB, this system plan will be put into operation in March next year.
The Japanese Atomic Institute has the world's highest level of large-scale computing system for atomic energy research and development, in order to adapt to the growing research needs, especially the large-scale simulation research in nuclear energy and nuclear fusion, the desired integration tokai research base The calculation capabilities of the NAKA nuclear fusion research base, thereby reaching more than 10 times the calculation capabilities, and they also want to transfer a large number of simulated data from the Tokai research base to the NAKA nuclear fusion research base to display the visualization technology to assess the new the design of.
In order to enable a lot of data generated on the Altix3700 BX2 system to share with the NAKA nuclear fusion research base, SGI Japanese will provide SGI InfiniteStorage solutions, including CXFS shared file systems and TP9300 arrays. Two research bases are 10 km, and the system will transmit off-site data through high-speed WDM (WaveLength Division Multiplexer).
In addition, the SGI Onyx4 UltimateVision graphics server will also be installed in the Tokai research base, and the SGI's latest PrismTM system will be installed to visualize the data generated on the ALTIX3700 BX2 to generate 3D images.
* Japan Institute of Atomic Energy was established in 1956, mainly engaged in cutting-edge science and technology such as atomic energy research and engineering development, undertakes the research of light water reactor construction, and this has established Japan's first nuclear reactor, and has a leading position in nuclear safety. . It has been widely applied to the field of radiology, and these basic research have greatly applied to the development of scientific research in agriculture, pharmaceuticals.
