P&G also uses the system to study fluid dynamics in disposable diapers. In the next few months, SGI will come out with its first Itanium 2 computers. Life sciences has become one of the more active scientific computing markets.
On Thursday, researchers at the US-based National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure announced full Itanium 2 support for its software, which is designed to make it less difficult to set up Linux-based supercomputer clusters.
Migration costs are a big concern for HP as it tries to steer Unix customers with servers based on HP's PA-RISC processor to the new HP Itanium-based Integrity line. If you can take an HP-UX application running on PA-RISC today, plug in an Itanium...
Customers will be encouraged to gradually move away from the PA-RISC and Alpha-based products, which will be sold until 2006 and supported until 2011. Hewlett Packard (HP) has revealed plans to simplify its servers around three product lines over...
Revenue from servers based on Intel's Itanium processor, which is gradually replacing PA-RISC and Alpha in HP's line, increased 60 per cent. Revenue from servers based on Intel's Itanium processor, which is gradually replacing PA-RISC and Alpha in...
The team uses systems based on AMD Opteron, Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX processors for faster real-time performance diagnostics, fluid dynamics simulations and telemetry applications. Panasonic Toyota Racing is also sponsored by Intel, and the team...
