WestGrid Counts on HP ProLiant DL145 Servers for Its Latest Number-Crunching Gridcomputing Resource
Overview WestGrid, the Western Canada Research Grid, is a $50 million collaborative project providing high-performance computing and multimedia/visualization resources to researchers and educators across Canada. WestGrid offers processing power ranging from serial to large-scale parallel computation. The computing resources are provided to academic researchers in a wide range of studies including drug design to treat illnesses, astrophysics experiments, and seismic modeling, all of which require compute-intensive calculations. WestGrid purchased a powerful new tool for the academic researchers in Canada. Called Matrix, this high-performance system is actually a cluster of 128 HP ProLiant DL145 servers each with two AMD Opteron 200 series processors.
