"High performance computing is essential for designing and supporting our Computational
Fluid Dynamics and other programs, and 64-bit Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processor-based
clusters help us to reduce development time and improve turnaround for support issues.
AMD’s 64-bit processor technology gives us the ability to support large computational models
which demand high performance, large memory addressability, and economical space, power,
and cooling requirements. In addition, HyperTransport™ technology has enabled us to link two
motherboards together to create a 16-core stand-alone system with128GB of RAM for a fast
and highly efficient pre-processing system."

CHALLENGE
Complex, performance-intensive computational application development and support required higher-performance 64-bit processing Company needed the ability to scale processor cores and memory in cluster-based systems without exceeding power, space, and cooling budgets.

SOLUTION
Working with system integrator PSSC Labs, Metacomp Technologies upgraded to AMD Opteron™ processor-based servers in 2004, and has continued to build new, AMD- based clusters using 64-bit, dual-core technologies.

IMPACT
Metacomp Technologies has cost-effectively built clusters of up to 64 cores that enable it to support even the largest and very compute-intensive customer applications with quick turnarounds, and without exceeding its power, space, and cooling capabilities.
