Boeing installs large AMD clusterSunnyvale 14 March 2001 The Boeing Company has implemented an AMD Athlon processor-based supercluster developed by Linux NetworX. The high performance cluster system, featuring 96 AMD Athlon processors, is running computational fluid dynamics applications in support of the Boeing Delta IV Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program at the company's Space and Communications division in Huntington Beach, Calif. Boeing Delta IV engineers tested several other processor platforms at Linux NetworX facilities before purchasing the AMD Athlon processor-based cluster. The Delta IV is the newest class of rockets developed by Boeing that will enter service in 2002 and will have the capability of lifting satellite payloads of up to 29,000 pounds into geosynchronous transfer orbit.
Linux NetworX supercluster
Evolocity, is a complete turnkey cluster solution based on the AMD Athlon
processor. The entire line of Evolocity clusters include both unique hardware
and Linux NetworX cluster management software called ClusterWorX.
The win reflects the growing number of organizations that are employing AMD
Athlon processor-based systems for their enterprise computational needs. The
award-winning AMD Athlon processor is already employed in several supercomputers
used for scientific research in both the academic and private sectors, including
systems used in universities such as the University of Delaware, the University
of Kentucky and the University of Utah, and in companies such as GeoCenter and
MSC.Software.
