- NCSA upgrades SMP capabilities with IBM pSeries 690 systems
- NCSA has decided to replace the SGI Origin2000 systems with a set of IBM pSeries 690 systems. There will be twelve systems each with 32 IBM POWER4 processors running at 1.3 gigahertz. Each processor has a peak performance of 5.2 gigaflops per second, and each system will have a minimum of 64 gigabytes RAM. The systems will each include four 2X FiberChannel interfaces and four Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interfaces. NCSA will be configuring four of the systems with additional memory to bring them up to 256 gigabytes each.
