UNT and Sun Microsystems S_10 show cost € million High Performance Computing

Madrid - 20 December 2002 - Nanyang Technological University (NTU) todayannounced $ 10 million research collaboration three years of Sun Microsystems, the S (Sun) for research and development of supercomputers and visualization NanyangCentre (NCSV), which is associated with toNTU Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Production, support. Ofunderstanding memorandum between UNT and the sun will soon Dr Cham Tao, President of Nanyang Technological University, and Naoyuki Nakanishi, director of the Asia-Pacific Education and Research will be signed, Sun Microsystems.Significantly promote cooperation in research and development inboth science and technology UNT is strongcapabilities in.NCSV, the most important center of high-performance computing, has extensive experience in inleveraging-performance computing to complex engineering problems to solve. Sun Alliance and will continue to build on the strengths and solutions in the following areas of research TheCentre: 1) Network Computing2) MCAE/MCAD3) High-performance Computing4) Nanotechnology 5) and Sun Life SciencesNTU also develop joint research projects in support specialists Technologies that the resources in these areas. These technologies include, but are not limited to the parallel processing, science challenges the application of high performance computing solutions, life and storage management and data center technologies.New - Asia-Pacific Centre for Science and Technology (APSTC) the term "Association and the continuation of the EDB, Science Asia, Sun Microsystems and Technology (APSTC) is beestablished in NTU. Center for the public in January 2003, consists of three scientists and engineers in six years. APSTC key role in developing computer skills, high- Performance Computing andgrid. NCSV APSTC work on specific projects. Staff Will support all research projects in Asia-Pacific region. UNT is a great honor to choose, house solar center within NTU.The link will also offer scholarships to scientists. Inaddition, the sun, through an extensive global excellence Around collaborations.NTU to TheLife other potential key region leveraging HPC node group on the basis of engineering and science skills to promote NTU, and may play an important role in Singapore'splan Biomedical Research Center . The new project supports the objectives of NTU'sstrategic. "The collaboration with Sun Microsystems to set up a data center of the UNT keyhigh benefits for the region. Beena, Sun Microsystems is a leading provider of large SMP server capacity, with half a terabyte of storage CPUsand 106 Deal In addition, the stirring speed neatfeature CPU on a single server, which gives us a useful isdefinitely performance. Work with to ensure that the network is fully integrated with HPCenvironment, "says Professor Kim Meow Liew forSupercomputing Director of Nanyang and display." NTU is a commitment to working Singapore.Sun Sun has successfully provided solutions for High Performance Computing tonumerous research groups around the world. With the development of research inscientific research institutions have increasingly complex problems that require massive computing power themselvesaddressing sustainable andwell so "saidNaoyuki Nakanishi, manager of the Asia-Pacific Education and Research, Sun Microsystems." Our experience in High Performance Computing in conjunction withthe knowledge and talent of researchers from NTU, Singapore as a regional support center further position HPC. "Offer TheFielders About Nanyang Technological UniversityEstablished 1 July 1991, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Nanyang Technological Institute in 1981, the basic functions of itsorigin withthe old to higher education and research in engineering and technology. Looking theleading one of the universities in Asia Pacific has developed a number of important questions UNT clear fortes design, finance, accounting, life sciences, communications and education. Universityhas 1,800 researchers and research institutions and exceeding24 students, 000 of which quarter of the students .
