SGI Fiscal Year 2007 report
SGI has sent out an end of Fiscal Year 2007
report.
"In August, NASA turned to SGI to acquire the world's largest
shared-memory supercomputer as part of NAS Technology Refresh (NTR), a
four-phase evaluation and procurement process that eventually will replace
the Columbia supercomputer system, powered by SGI(R) Altix(R). Installed in
August at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) facility at the Ames
Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., the new system is the first
supercomputer to operate 2,048 Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor cores and
4TB of memory under a single copy of Linux(R) OS; as such, it is the
largest Linux single system image (SSI) in the world."
