Dell Professional Services (DPS) and Scali Work Together to Deliver a High Performance Computing Cluster to German Scientific Institutions
Overview The Max Planck Society is the largest scientific society in Germany. It consists of around 80 institutions and has a strong reputation for working on highly specialised subjects such as the modelling of fluid dynamics and other sophisticated mechanical engineering projects. To perform these tasks more efficiently it needed to expand the computing power at its disposal. To do this, the GWDG wanted to purchase a high performance computer cluster (HPCC). HPCC draws on the principles of grid computing. Dell won the bid to supply the HPCC solution to the GWDG. The HPPCHPCC consists of 54 Dell PowerEdge 2650 servers, running Linux and powered by dual 3.06Ghz Intel Pentium Xeon processors.
