QLogic Teams Up With AMD, ANSYS, Dell and Microsoft to Deploy First Publicly Accessible HPC Cluster Based On the Six-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor HPC End-Users and Vendors Now Testing With Latest AMD Opteron(tm) Processor At QLogic NETtrack Developer Ce

 Continuing to bring industry leaders together to drive innovation in high performance computing (HPC) solutions, QLogic Corp. (Nasdaq:QLGC) today announced a collaboration with AMD, ANSYS, Dell and Microsoft to create public access for the first time to HPC clusters based on the recently announced Six-Core AMD Opteron processor -- codenamed "Istanbul." Located at the QLogic NETtrack Developer Center in Shakopee, Minnesota, the cluster consists of Dell PowerEdge servers and QLogic quad data rate (QDR) InfiniBand(r) switches and adapters running on Microsoft's Windows HPC Server 2008 operating system. The first application to be tested on the cluster is ANSYS FLUENT 12 computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software using ANSYS' extensive suite of testing and benchmarking simulations. 

The NETtrack Developer Center was designed by QLogic to enable companies to test drive applications on the latest processor, networking and storage technologies. With the addition of this HPC cluster from AMD, Dell, Microsoft and QLogic, customers can conduct real-world performance evaluations and see first-hand the price/performance and performance/watt advantages of AMD Opteron processor technology, which is designed to deliver superior efficiency for HPC users at cost-effective price points.
