TACC Ranger – Stampede will be 20X more powerful
Mellanox InfiniBand interconnects will enable tight integration between thousands of Dell compute nodes and visualization nodes, shared memory servers, and I/O servers. When installed in January 2013, Stampede will be the most powerful system available to researchers via the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) eXtreme Science & Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE). Stampede will support national scientific research into weather forecasting, climate modeling, drug discovery and energy exploration and production.
