University of Warsaw did order a Cray SV1Warsaw 06 December 2000 Cray will install a 32-processor Cray SV1 supercomputer system at the Warsaw University's Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modeling (ICM), Warsaw, Poland. The Cray SV1 system, to be installed this year in the ICM facility, will be used to enhance national weather forecasts for Poland and to support research in the mathematical, natural and computational sciences.
``ICM is a former finalist for the
prestigious Computerworld-Smithsonian Award, honoring the world's
greatest achievements in science. We are proud to be associated with
this world-class operational and research facility,'' said Barry
Utting, managing director for Cray Europe.
The Cray SV1 supercomputer was one of the Cray systems named ``Best
Supercomputers'' for 2000 by the readership of Scientific Computing &
Instrumentation magazine. Co-winner of the award was the Cray T3E
product. More than 100 Cray SV1 systems have been installed since
general availability began in August 1999. Half of that volume has
come from outside of the United States.
