Georgia Tech School of Mechanical Engineering Installs AMD QuadCore HPC Solution from Penguin Computing

Penguin Computing (www.penguincomputing.com), an AMD Platinum Solution Provider, today announced that Professor Min Zhou from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology has installed a Penguin high performance computing (HPC) Solution utilizing third-generation AMD Opteron Quad Core CPUs. The Linux-based Penguin Cluster with AMD Opteron 2300 ("Barcelona") series processors will be used to study the fundamental deformation and failure mechanisms of materials at micro and nano scales.

"We believe the AMD based solution offers a more suitable architecture for our HPC applications and we chose Penguin Computing for their expertise and because we are pleased with the historic and on-going support Penguin has provided us here at Georgia Tech," said Professor Zhou. "These applications are primarily involved in the parallel processing of digital images from experiments and computational modeling and to carry out molecular dynamics and finite element simulations of mechanical and thermal processes in materials."

The Penguin Altus rack mountable servers used in this cluster with the AMD Opteron 2300 series processors are designed to address the performance, density, environmental and total cost of ownership requirements of organizations requiring both small and large HPC clusters.

"We are delighted that Professor Zhou chose Penguin and AMD to power his research in the coming years and that we were able to quickly deliver a turn-key cluster optimized for his requirements," said Charles Wuischpard, President of Worldwide Field Operations, Penguin Computing. "We focus on delivering the very latest HPC technologies to our customers and providing the scientific and technical expertise to design the best system for the budget."
