Queensland Parallel Supercomputer Foundation: Shared SGI Systems Power Research Statewide
Overview The Queensland Parallel Supercomputer Foundation (QPSF) is based on a simple philosophy: pool funds, acquire major supercomputing and visualization systems, and share these resources over a broadband network. QPSF uses SGI Reality Center visualization, MIPS processor-based supercomputing, Intel processor-based supercomputing, and data storage systems - across a government network. Most of QPSF's compute power resides at the University of Queensland, where SGI high-performance systems have provided computing muscle for research programs since 1995. QPSF acquired a 64-processor SGI Origin 3400 shared-memory supercomputer with 64GB of memory - the first 600 MHz Origin system delivered anywhere.
