AMD, Sun Microsystems to build Japan’s largest supercomputer

AMD and Sun Microsystems have announced that the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), one of the world’s leading technical institutes, is creating Japan’s largest supercomputer on a foundation of Sun.

The system is based on Sun Fire x64 (x86, 64-bit) servers with 10,480 AMD Opteron processor cores [totalling more than 50 trillion floating point operations per second (teraFLOPS)], Sun and NEC storage technologies and NEC’s integration expertise as well as ClearSpeed’s Advance accelerator boards. Using Sun’s N1 System Manager and N1 Grid Engine, the system will be provisioned to support the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) as well as the Linux operating environment. It will be used to help science and engineering researchers dramatically increase their productivity.

The Tokyo Tech system marks Sun’s largest high performance computing (HPC) win to date. The grid-based supercomputer plans to expand to more than 100 teraFLOPS by its operation in Spring 2006 and is expected to be one of the five largest supercomputers in the world as ranked by Top 500 in Summer 2006.
