High Performance Computing Solutions
High Performance & GRID Computing Solutions from Scotland Electronics allow supercomputer-class problems to be addressed with networks of clustered PC computers.
Scotland Electronics have been involved with High Performance Computing (HPC) projects since 1999, supplying HPC solutions to some of the world’s largest computing centres.
These include CERN in Switzerland who now utilise in excess of 1700 Scotland Electronics Dual Intel® XEON™ Farm PCs, in a current cluster of 2600 computational servers, along with Scotland Electronics supplied Enterasys Networks®, Gigabit Routers & Switches. CERN will eventually be host to over 45,000** CPUs clustered as part of emerging GRID solutions.
The European Space Agency at Esrin in Italy is home to one of Scotland Electronics’s latest rack mounted High Performance Clusters. Earth Observation uses a Linux cluster with 256 virtual CPUs and 18TB of storage to process data received from the Envisat satellite. Overall, a total of 140 gigabytes of information products are derived from Envisat data daily, equivalent to 50 terabytes a year – sufficient in paper form to fill the largest library on Earth, the United States Library of Congress, more than twice over.
