Aachen University of Technology Education Aachen Builds One of the World’s Most Powerful Supercomputers Sun helped Aachen migrate to an open, flexible, cost-effective clustered symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system to handle resource-hungry applications. High Performance Computing Virtual Laboratory (HPCVL) Education Canadian Computing Consortium Boosts Performance Fivefold With Sun Technology For HPCVL’s new high-performance computing lab, Sun provides a comprehensive infrastructure composed of compute clusters, storage and remote access capabilities via a Web portal to support approximately 700 university-based and outside researchers. Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Government Researchers Benefit from Faster and More Complex Problem Solving With Sun’s help, INL deployed a high performance unified and secure grid computing infrastructure that can complete two trillion (2 teraflop) floating-point operations per second. The Institute for Genomic Research Life Sciences World-Renowned Genome Research Facility Relies on Sun to Provide Cost-Efficient High-Performance Compute Grid To achieve higher performance at lower cost, TIGR migrated and consolidated processing for a core genetic sequencing application from a HP AlphaServer Tru64 platform to a high-performance computing grid infrastructure using Sun Fire x64 servers running Sun N1 Grid Engine and Linux that met TIGR’s requirements, and more. Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, UCLA Education & Research Brain Research Lab Makes Smart Choice with Sun Servers LONI deployed a 306-node cluster of Sun Fire V20z servers running Sun N1 Grid Engine software, which manages the lab's servers as a computing service. Each Sun Fire V20z server has dual 64-bit 2.4 gigahertz AMD Opteron processors with four gigabytes of memory. Magna Steyr Manufacturing Performing Complex Calculations Faster to Reduce Testing Costs Magna Steyr deployed 170 AMD Opteron processors in 85 Sun servers with Sun Cluster managed with Sun N1 Grid Engine software. Mentor Graphics Corporation Technology Electronic Design Automation Leader Shortens Time-to-Market and Improves Product Quality with Sun Grid Engine A Sun-powered grid for product development, serving hundreds of engineering users and performing more than 13 million jobs per month. Sonac, Inc. Technology Dramatically Reducing LSI Verification Time from 17 Hours to 30 Minutes with Sun Solaris 10 and Sun Grid Solution on x86 Sonac chose a Sun Grid implementation based on Solaris for x86 with Sun servers and Sun workstations. St. Francis Xavier University Education Increasing Performance for Complex Physics Research StFX university deployed a cluster of AMD Opteron-based Sun Fire V20z servers running Solaris and connected via Myrinet network, with Sun StorageTek storage arrays. Synopsys Manufacturing Synopsys Dramatically Improves Utilization of Grid Computing Synopsys deployed the Sun N1 Grid Engine's advanced scheduling features, such as resource reservation, unified ticketing, and backfilling, to ensure availability of vital resources for critical workloads and enable the highest-possible utilization of grid resources. Tokyo Institute of Technology Education Sun builds Japan's most powerful supercomputer for Japanese "MIT" When Tokyo Tech set out to build the largest supercomputer in Japan, it considered proposals from a number of different vendors. Only Sun’s proposal offered both the high computing power required, combined with the cost-efficiency and flexibility of a grid architecture. University of Notre Dame Education University Research Center Expands Capacity Rapidly and at Less Cost with Ready-to-Deploy Sun Servers The University of Notre Dame (Notre Dame) called on Sun Customer Ready Systems Program to deliver and incrementally expand a high-performance computing cluster based on Sun Grid architecture. The factory-integrated Sun servers give Notre Dame's Center for Research Computing a low-cost and ready-to-deploy solution, enabling Notre Dame to add capacity quickly with minimal demands on staff. University of Queensland Education Providing the Speed and Power for Hypersonic and Molecular Research The CCMS and Center for Hypersonics augmented a 128-node grid cluster system with a two-rack, 66-node Sun Customer Ready HPC Cluster using Sun Fire V20z servers powered by the AMD Opteron processor Model 250. Ventyx Energy Virtualizing Data Center and Delivering 18:1 Server Consolidation Ventyx migrated its grid computing infrastructure to Sun Fire x64 servers running Solaris, and deployed Sun Java Workstations for state-of-the-art software development. NewEnergy also consolidated and virtualized legacy remote and back office x86 servers using Sun Fire x64 servers running VMware GSX server.
