California Digital and Lawrence Livermore Deploy Fastest Linux Cluster

[Posted May 14, 2004 by ris]

California Digital, Quadrics, and Intel have announced that they have successfully deployed the "most powerful Linux supercomputer ever built", a 4,096 Itanium 2 processor based Linux cluster code named "Thunder" at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Is there another one?

A guy from IBM in Portugal told me (and the rest of the room) that IBM had deployed a 40 Teraflops cluster with 2500 CPU in Barcelona. Anyone knows anything about this?

Not yet. They promised the (previous) government to built it, and I don't have confirmation that it will be Linux-based.
