Intel, Cisco, Sun Available to help the development of weapons laboratory

U.S. national laboratory Livermor Lawrence (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, LLNL) published 18 November that the six companies from Silicon Valley to enter the business team that will help her to develop a new type of Burma twice faster than its current najbržeg superkomjutera. Companies Intel, Sun Microsystems, Cisco Systems, LSI, Mellanox Technologies and Super Micro Computer work on the project Hyperion (Hyperion), whose goal is to examine the construction of isplativost Available will be updated to account the speed of one petaflopsa (thousand billion operations per second). That would be twice faster than najbržeg laboratory, which currently has - IBM's Blue Available gene L (Blue Gene / L). Although the company will build and the Worried, they will examine technology that will allow you to around 2011. make a copy. Executives want to new laboratory Available simulate the explosion of national possibility of nuclear Arsenale, to not be examined detoniranjem. Although existing computers these laboratories have conducted such a simulation, computer, which would speed was one petaflops would allow scientists to obtain more detailed data for the study. Available running speed of petaflopsa and more have been installed in the U.S. national laboratories, the Ministry of Energy (U.S. Energy Department) Los Alamos in New Mexico and Ouk ridž (Oak Ridge) in Tennessee. In November the Available laboratory in Los Alamos (paid 133 million dollars) - known as bird Trkačica (Roadrunner) - declared the fastest in the world thanks to dostignutoj speed of 1,059 petaflopsa. It is made using IBM processors California Advanced Micro Devices. Executives laboratory Lawrence Livermor hope that Burma who want to develop will be cheaper and easier to use than existing machines. Project Hyperion next listed companies act more, and Dell, QLogic, RedHat and Direct Data Network. On the other hand, Intel also helps to develop Available Our speed of peatflopsa.
