The two newest cluster computing systems at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA / www.ncsa.uiuc.edu) rank eighth and 47th on the 29th TOP500 List (www.top500.org), released today during ISC '07 in Dresden, Germany. At #8 is Abe--a Dell blade system with 1,200 PowerEdge 1955 dual-socket, quad-core Intel Xeon 2.3 GHz processors. Abe has a peak performance of more than 89 trillion calculations per second (89.5 teraflops). Named in honor of 16th president Abraham Lincoln, the system was purchased with funds from the state of Illinois and is shared by the University's new Institute for Advanced Computing Applications and Technologies (www.iacat.uiuc.edu), headed by NCSA Director Thom Dunning, and by the nation's science and engineering researchers as a National Science Foundation TeraGrid resource. At #47, T3--a Dell blade system with 1,040 dual-core 2.66 GHz Intel processors ­has a peak performance of 21.3 teraflops. T3 is used intensively by NCSA's business and industry partners. The NCSA Private Sector Program includes Abaqus, ACNielsen, Boeing, Caterpillar, Deere, Dell, Eclipse Energy Inc., ExxonMobil, IBM, Innerlink, JPMorgan, Microsoft, Motorola, Research Triangle Institute, and State Farm. With Abe and T3 joining NCSA's other compute systems, the center now offers more than 146 teraflops of computing power to the nation's scientists and engineers and to its industrial partners. NCSA (National Center for Supercomputing Applications) is a unique state-federal partnership to develop and deploy national-scale cyberinfrastructure that advances science and engineering. Located at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, NCSA is one of the leading National Science Foundation-supported supercomputing centers. Additional support comes from the state of Illinois, the University of Illinois, private sector partners, and other federal agencies. Go to www.ncsa.uiuc.edu for more information.
