Publisher Description
Appro, Milpitas, Calif., a provider of high-performance enterprise computing systems, has been awarded a contract for a 95TF Appro Xtreme-X(TM) Supercomputer for the Center for Computational Sciences at the University of Tsukuba, located in the center of Tsukuba Science City. The region is well known for its large concentration of advanced research institutions in various areas of science and technology. The Tsukuba award is a major breakthrough for Appro's supercomputers into the Japanese HPC market. The University chooses Appro's Xtreme-X3 Supercomputer for its matchless Quad-Rail system interconnect, which provides the lowest-latency and the highest bandwidth performance to meet both capacity and capability computing requirements for Tsukuba's computational scientific research programs. The Appro Xtreme-X3 Supercomputer will be shipped and installed by Appro at the University by the end of May 2008.
