SDSC expands DataStar supercomputer

released September 27, 2005

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego has expanded the capacity and capability of its new DataStar supercomputer. Through the addition of 96 8-way IBM Power 4+ p655 compute nodes, SDSC's users will now have access to 15.6 teraflops of compute capability—an increase of more than 50 percent. In addition, DataStar's memory and parallel file system will almost double in size.

SDSC is a TeraGrid resource provider site, with particular responsibility for data-intensive computing. TeraGrid—built over the past 4 years—is the world's largest, most comprehensive distributed cyberinfrastructure for open scientific research.
