Los Alamos National Laboratory Deploys ApproXtreme-X Supercomputer
Appro today announced that the ApproXtreme-X Supercomputer based on AMD Opteron processors has been deployed by Los Alamos National Laboratorys Institutional Computing Program. This deployment represents approximately $10 Million in production computing capability. The Xtreme-X Supercomputer will be used to address LANLs HPC needs for unclassified scientific computing and included complete factory-integrated and pre-tested systems with HPC professional services and support. For a quick video of a successful deployment, go to Appro HPC Community Blog. The Appro Xtreme-X Supercomputer, named Mustang by the LANL Institutional Computing Program will provide high performance computing resources to a variety of activities at Los Alamos including ocean, wildfire, plasma physics, materials and nuclear energy.
AMD is excited to collaborate with Appro to deliver the performance scaling, memory bandwidth, floating point capabilities and energy efficiency that HPC workloads and customers around the world demand, said Patrick Patla, vice president and general manager, Server and Embedded divisions, AMD. Its an honor that the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a frontrunner in high performance computing, has chosen AMD as the foundation for this Appro supercomputing deployment aimed at improving climate change projections to better predict and understand our worlds dynamic climate.
