After a large-scale modernization of supercomputer Jaguar, installed in National Laboratory Oak Ridge , came in first place in the ranking of the most productive computing systems Top500 under a new name - Titan. The system, which reaches a speed of 20 petaflops, consists of 18,688 units, combining the 16-core AMD Opteron processor and the accelerator NVIDIA Tesla K20x.
Titan will produce the most complex scientific calculations, such as the prediction of long-term climate change, or modeling the behavior of neutrons in a nuclear reactor. But the results of the calculations necessary to record somewhere, and, obviously, the traditional solutions are not very useful for this purpose.
Therefore, the supercomputer will acquire storage system Spider II with a peak bandwidth of 1.4 terabytes per second. A total capacity of up to 40 petabytes of storage, this volume is achieved through 20,000 stores, installed in 36 sites DataDirect Networks SFA12K-40 . Related Products :
