CERN deploys LSF on Itanium systemsToronto 29 May 2001 Platform's LSF also supports Itanium based systems. "As early as last October 2000, CERN was able to demonstrate successful utilization of a cluster of Intel Itanium processor-based hardware running SIXTRACK under the control of Platform Computing's LSF," said Sverre Jarp, IA- 64/TRILLIAN project manager for the IT Division at CERN.
SIXTRACK is a multidimensional, multiparticle tracking code employed by high-energy physicists
in the analysis of experimental data from particle accelerators.
Platform expects that LSF will play a key role as companies scale their compute operations using the
Itanium processor or move from existing operating systems to Linux. LSF is
cost-effective, business-critical system software not only for companies
planning to use Intel's Itanium architecture, but also for companies that need
to maximize their compute power in general.
