Linux Networx announced today that the Army Research Laboratory, a Department of
Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) Major Shared Resource Center (MSRC), has accepted the newest and most powerful
HPCMP Linux cluster into their production environment. The 256-processor system designed for ARL, dubbed “Powell,” is capable of performing 1.7
trillion operations per second (teraflops). The Powell cluster, recently ranked 113th on the Top 500 list (http://www.top500.org), exceeded rigorous
effectiveness and capability testing requirements prior to delivering critical computations and simulations to MSRC users.
