Florida Boosts Productivity, Cuts Run Times With High-Performance Computing Cluster

Overview Sixteen counties in Florida depend on South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to manage and protect their water resources. Since 2002, SFWMD has been testing Linux-based and Windows-based high-performance computing clusters. That testing was taken over in 2003 by the Interagency Modeling Center (IMC), which performs complex numerical modeling and analysis in support of SFWMD restoration projects. In 2005, the IMC built a five-node computer cluster and began testing Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 in the field. Offering 64-bit processor support, Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 has helped the IMC boost productivity and decrease the run times of its Windows-based modeling software. Positive test results have encouraged the IMC to consider consolidating its multiple operating systems into a single, unified Windows-based environment.
