As a leading edge center within the High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP), the Center for Computational Science (CCS) of the Naval Research Laboratory evaluates new high performance computing (HPC) assets. The center is currently evaluating two systems - an Altix 3700 running the SUSE Linus Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 operating systems and a Cray XD1. With respect to the Altix system, Naval Research Laboratory is looking at applications requiring ...
