Compaq Computer Japan's Scalar Supercomputer System up and running at Keio UniversityTokyo 27 December 2001 The massively parallel computing system of Compaq Japan is now up and running at the Information Technology Center (ITC) of Keio University.
The system consists of two machines: a high-end SMP (Symmetrical Multi-processor) server based on the NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access) architecture, and a 1U MPI (Message Passing Interface) server.
The multithreaded SMP parallel server is comprised of an AlphaServer GS320 high-performance server equipped with 32 64-bit 1GHz Alpha21264 processors and 64GB of main memory, and an AlphaServer GS160 server embedded with 16 of the Alpha21264 processors and 16GB of memory, and runs Tru64 Unix as an operating system.
The supercomputer system uses 30 AlphaServer DS10L servers as MPI machines, which support Kondara MNU/Linux as an OS and a data storage capacity of 800GB in total.
The new system features Gynie, an on-line fee collection system developed by Compaq to empower a user reservation system for thousands of Keio students and faculty. Compaq has also installed 100 Linux (RedHat 7.1) workstations ordered by the university.
