Collaboration brings us AMD HPC cluster
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., July 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Continuing to bring industry leaders together to drive innovation in high performance computing (HPC) solutions, QLogic Corp. (Nasdaq:QLGC) today announced a collaboration with AMD, ANSYS, Dell and Microsoft to create public access for the first time to HPC clusters based on the recently announced Six-Core AMD Opteron processor — codenamed “Istanbul.” Located at the QLogic NETtrack Developer Center in Shakopee, Minnesota, the cluster consists of Dell PowerEdge servers and QLogic quad data rate (QDR) InfiniBand(r) switches and adapters running on Microsoft’s Windows HPC Server 2008 operating system. The first application to be tested on the cluster is ANSYS FLUENT 12 computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software using ANSYS’ extensive suite of testing and benchmarking simulations.
The NETtrack Developer Center was designed by QLogic to enable companies to test drive applications on the latest processor, networking and storage technologies. With the addition of this HPC cluster from AMD, Dell, Microsoft and QLogic, customers can conduct real-world performance evaluations and see first-hand the price/performance and performance/watt advantages of AMD Opteron processor technology, which is designed to deliver superior efficiency for HPC users at cost-effective price points.
It’s always great to see vendors team up, and for opportunities to validate or test configurations, anything we can do to further the opportunities of a platform, deliver best practice configurations or improved efficiency has to be a good thing, do check it out.
