University of Kentucky installs HP N-4000 complexKentucky 22 August 2000 The University of Kentucky is replacing its Hewlett-Packard SPP X-Class Exemplar supercomputer with a cluster of HP N-Class servers. Benchmarking of the new HP N-4000 complex placed the system 200th on the worlwide list of the top 500 supercomputing sites.
The new supercomputer consists of 12 HP N-4000 servers interconnected by a
high-speed, low-latency "hyperfabric" network. Each of the 12 individual nodes
has eight PA-8500 processors running at 440 MHz, for a total of 96 processors.
The PA-8500 processor is approximately twice as fast as the processors used in
the SPP Exemplar.
