Terra Soft joins the Cell supercomputer bandwagon |
Ó
Roadrunner, Folding@Home, BladeCenter, and now "E. Coli" and "Amoeba." These two are the codenames for the test and production versions of Terra Soft's latest project, a supercomputer cluster that runs off the Cell processor. And apparently, this will be the first operational Cell supercomputer cluster - a network of processors that should deliver the high-speed, heavy-load processing capabilities of a comparable supercomputer. Terra Soft will begin work on this tomorrow, according to HPC Wire. They were initially contacted by Sony for this project way back in spring, and the company has remodeled part of their Loveland, CO. headquarters to house 2,400 connected processing systems. The supercomputing cluster will run on the Cell Broadband Engine and Linux OS, and will be comprised, in part, of PS3 systems.
Terra Soft specializes in life science research applications - quite along the lines of Folding@Home, except for the @Home part. This Cell cluster is expected to be operational by the end of the year. Terra Soft will also demo the software running on a cluster of PS3s during this year's IBM-sponsored Supercomputing 2006 trade show this November in Tampa.
Thank a lot, Deacon Nikolai for sending this in.
