Dell Precision Workstations With NVIDIA Graphics Cards Enhance Cutting-Edge Scientific Research at the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies

Tags:
processors

Overview Researchers at the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies are contributing to the development of a new approach to high-performance parallel computing that uses clusters of processors and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to support new algorithms and applications in computational biology, computer vision, virtual audio, signal processing, and for interactively visualizing large scientific datasets. The University deployed Dell Services for assessment, design, implementation, and support; Dell Precision 470 workstations with Intel Xeon processors, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra PCI Express graphics cards, PCI Express Topspin InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter, and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system; 24" Dell UltraSharp LCD 2405FP monitors; Dell PowerEdge 2850 servers running the Red Hat Linux operating system.

Linux enlisted for mission-critical defence app

It uses Red Hat Linux with a special, multi-threaded, low-latency kernel. Concurrent iHawk systems are powered by up to eight Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron processors and up to 64GB of memory in rack mount and tower enclosures.

Torvalds issues new Linux kernel

Linux sellers such as Novell and Red Hat use their own variations of the kernel which Torvalds releases at kernel.org but they are generally reluctant to deviate too far from what amounts to a standard.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
