Dataram Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAM), a leading provider of server and workstation memory, today announced that its memory now powers two of the five most powerful supercomputers in operation, underscoring its memory focus on the high performance computing market. The semi-annual revised list of the world's most powerful supercomputers was released at SC2004, the conference for High Performance Computing, Networking and Storage, in Pittsburgh, PA on Monday.
Columbia, an SGI Altix system with 10,240 Intel Itanium2 processors and memory from Dataram, is the second largest supercomputer in the world according to the latest ranking (www.top500.org). The system installed at NASA/Ames Research Center in California was delivered and made operational by SGI in an incredibly short time period of about 15 weeks. The system has attained sustained performance of 51.87 trillion calculations per second (teraflops).
"Dataram memory products are built to deliver the quality and reliability required to power these high performance supercomputers as they tackle the world's most complex computational problems," stated Lars Marcher, President and COO of Dataram.
Dataram memory also powers the fifth largest supercomputer--Thunder--installed earlier in 2004 at Lawrence Livermore National Labs in California. The Thunder contains 4096 Intel Itanium2 processors and 8TB of Dataram memory.
While exhibiting at SC2004, Dataram highlighted memory options for the SGI Altix product line -- the same building blocks delivered to NASA for Columbia. Dataram also showcased a complete line of innovative memory products for high performance servers and workstations from HP, IBM, and Sun Microsystems and memory for system boards from Intel and AMD's integrators. The SC2004 conference runs through November 12th.
