Selects 78 Sun SPARC Enterprise 5140 Servers, Solaris 10 OS

High Performance Computing Virtual Laboratory (HPCVL) in Canada has
selected Sun infrastructure to power Victoria Falls, its new compute
cluster based on 78 Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 servers and the
Solaris 10 OS. HPC codes well suited for the Sun SPARC Enterprise
T5140 include applications that require high levels of
parallelization and/or very high memory bandwidth. Running at full
capacity, the Sun-powered Victoria Falls HPC cluster is designed to
process nearly 10,000 threads simultaneously.
