Linux Networx announced today the Atomic Weapons Establishment plc (AWE), responsible for a key part of the United Kingdom's nuclear defense capability, has acquired an Evolocity visualization cluster system from Linux Networx.
SALT LAKE CITY, June 21, 2005 - Linux Networx announced today the Atomic Weapons Establishment plc (AWE), responsible for a key part of the United Kingdom's nuclear defense capability, has acquired an Evolocity® visualization cluster system from Linux Networx. AWE is using the cluster as part of their ongoing research into new techniques for visualizing data produced by their extensive computer simulation facilities.
High performance computing has always played a major role at AWE as the organization is responsible for managing the entire life cycle of the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent. Since the cessation of underground nuclear testing, AWE's stewardship of the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent is dependent on the use of large-scale computer simulations, including the visualization of scientific and engineering data.
Visualization is an integral component of AWE's technical computing facilities, and is essential to the understanding of the massive amounts of data produced in simulations. With the arrival of high-speed interconnect technologies, such as InfiniBand, 64-bit Intel® XeonTM processors and PCI Express, Linux clusters can now be used to build scalable graphics engines to generate detailed visualizations.
