NEWS The machine will have two teraflops of computing power and will be used by researchers to study some of the most fundamental questions of science. In a two-phase operation, the computer giant will help install the first cluster next month, based on top level IBM thin x330 eServers, each containing two 1GHz Intel Pentium III processors running Red Hat Linux. The second cluster, to be installed this summer, will run Turbolinux, and be one of the first to use Intel's next-generation 64-bit Itanium processor. Dan Reed, director of NCSA, said in a statement: "We believe that Linux clusters will soon be the most widely-used architecture for parallel computing, and that these two clusters from IBM are the best way to deliver terascale performance."
