AMD64 Technology Supports World-Class Research

Tags:
processors

Overview Massey University is part of New Zealand's post-high school state education system, with a 70-year tradition of academic excellence. The university needed to support its researchers with world-class computing facilities. However, universities don't have bottomless pockets, and performance must be carefully weighed against costs. University deployed new Double Helix cluster computer powered by AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture. This powerful new cluster has five to ten times the computational power density of the university's existing 64-node Helix, which just two years ago was ranked the most powerful in the country and in the world's top 500 supercomputers.
