Appro wins a historic award
of Appro Xtreme-X™ high performance computing
clusters for the TLCC07 project to be delivered to
three National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
weapons laboratories: Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia
National Laboratories. This represents the first time,
under a single contract, that the tri-Labs purchase
the same high performance computing systems for deployment
at all three sites.
The TLCC07 program represents a multi-million dollar
contract between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
(www.llnl.gov) and Appro (www.appro.com) to provide
scalable Linux high performance clusters with up to
438 teraFLOP/s in 21 Scalable Units (SU) with an option
for an additional 10 SU, 200 teraFLOP/s of capacity
computing power to be deployed in 8 separate Linux
clusters at the tri-Lab sites. |
