Linux - Open Source White Papers
Swinburne University
Overview The challenge for Swinburne University was to increase the processing power of the supercomputing facility by 1000 percent. Ensure the continued support of Linux and reduce the footprint of servers using the most cost-effective, reliable and scalable framework available. Implement a high performance computing cluster technology solution with 90 rack-mounted Dell PowerEdge 2650 Dual Xeon servers, 30 Dell Dual Xeon Precision 530s. Migrate from a 64 bit proprietary operating system to a 32 bit Linux SuSe platform. Swinburne University received 3-4 times the performance for the same investment on a new 32 bit Linux SuSe platform. They also experience a total increase in performance of 16 times the previous cluster and a 300 percent saving on floor space.
