Ohio Supercomputer Center orders Cray SV1

Seatlle 23 April 2001 Cray received a $1.6 million order from the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), Columbus, Ohio. The 16-processor Cray SV1 supercomputer will support advanced research on air pollution transport, brake efficiency and other problems in computational chemistry, mechanical engineering and related fields. This system will be upgraded in mid-2001 to Cray SV1ex processors and memory, with memory doubling to 64 gigabytes

Separately, Cray said it is contracting with OSC to complement Cray's staff in providing specialised training to Cray supercomputer customers, including courses in areas such as data migration facility.

More than 100 Cray SV1 systems have been installed since general availability began in August 1999. Half of that volume has come from outside the United States.
