With up to 8TB of global shared memory with as few as 12 processor cores, SGI Altix 4700 systems are enabling applications for a number of important projects:
-- NASA's SGI Altix 4700 system, installed at the NASA Advanced
Supercomputing facility at Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif. in
-- At the Center for Information Services and High-Performance Computing
at Technische Universitat Dresden (TU Dresden), an SGI Altix 4700 system
powered by 2,048 Intel(R) Itanium(R) processor cores and 6.5TB of main memory
is enabling researchers throughout
-- The Institute for Molecular Science in
-- SGI Altix systems with 4TB to 8TB of memory are also being used to develop advanced reservoir simulation applications and models which can increase the fraction of discovered oil that can be recovered -- extending their life by many years and increasing their value by billions of dollars.
"With 8TB of global shared memory on the SGI Altix 4700, scientists and
engineers around the world are able to boost productivity by integrating
theory, simulation and experimentation more closely than every before," said
