Silicon Graphics (New York Stock Exchange Code: SGI) announced today that the Japanese Atomic Institute (Jaeri) will launch the SGI (R) Altix (R) supercomputer as its latest core computing system to help development leading Energy system.
Through a bidding, Fujitsu Limited and SGI Japan will work together to provide Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute based on 2,048 Intel (R) ITANIUM (R) 2 processors, Linux (R) operating environment and more than 13 gigabit storage capacity (The world's largest storage) 3700 bx2 model. The system is scheduled to be fully operated at the end of March 2005.
The Japan Institute of Atomic Energy has been committed to launching the highest standards of large computers to meet the needs of scientific calculations in nuclear energy research and development. In response to the rapid growth of the calculation demand expectations in response to nuclear energy and nuclear fusion sectors, Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute will put the configuration in the East Sea Institute (located in the East Sea) and Naka Fusion Research Establishments (Naka Fusion Research Institute " The system (located in Naka) is integrated and achieves more than 10 times more processing capabilities. The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute also expects large amounts of calculation data such as large-scale simulation calculations from the East China Sea Research Institute to Naka Fusion Research Establishment, and obtain efficient visualization capabilities when testing new systems.
Rapid sharing in Naka's system and get huge amount of calculated data generated by the Altix system located in the East China Sea.
SGI Japan will also provide a TP9300 disk system sharing file system with SGI (R) CXFS (TM). The East Sea Institute and Naka Fusion Research Establishment will be connected to a high speed wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) to achieve all files from remote facilities.
In addition, large-scale visualization systems will be installed in the East Sea Institute, Silicon Graphics (R) Onyx4 (TM) Ultimatevision (TM) is installed in Naka Fusion Research Establish, to install the latest graphics performance from the ALTIX system. The data generated is created 3D visual effects. (Editor: Summer)
