Dell Helps University Create a Superhuman Machine

Tags:
processors

Overview The existing system at the Computational Laboratory for Analysis, Modeling, and Visualization (CLAMV) at Jacobs University in Bremen lacked sufficient computing power to satisfy rising demands. For various departments within the university to conduct a series of computer-aided simulation and modeling solutions, it needed to improve its processing power. They needed to continue making the institution's computer-aided simulation and modeling solutions available to its users in specialist disciplines. CLAMV turned to Dell for its solution and implemented a new high-performance cluster. The system is driven by 320 processor cores at 2.9 teraflops.
