"We are excited that the 'Samson' supercomputer is showcasing the AMD Athlon™ processor," said Pat Moorhead, Vice President of Marketing of AMD's Computation Products Group. "This demonstrates another step in AMD's continuing plan to expand into the high-performance server and workstation markets. At the same time, both the academic and private sectors are evaluating AMD Athlon™ processor-based supercomputers for use in the highest areas of the scientific workplace."

"The new parallel cluster supercomputer will solidify the University of Delaware's position as a leader in new technology, providing important computing power for UD researchers and students in physics, engineering and computer sciences," said Melvyn D. Schiavelli, Provost, University of Delaware. "It will provide an unparalleled learning experience for all concerned, and fits well with the University's commitment to teaching, research and technology.

"The University recognizes the value of such cluster supercomputers, which provide exceptional computational power and speed, and is proud to stand at the leading edge of this emerging technology. The University is grateful for the support of the National Science Foundation, RackSaver, Dolphin Interconnect, and AMD in this endeavor," Schiavelli added.

"The design of the 'Samson' supercomputer using AMD Athlon™ processors reflects the economic changes in supercomputing," said David Driggers, President and CEO of Racksaver (www.racksaver.com). "Racksaver specializes in using existing, advanced technology to design flexible, yet powerful systems that can fit into specific space limitations. The 'Samson' supercomputer with AMD Athlon™ processors fulfills both the space and performance needs of the University of Delaware."

To match the speed of the AMD Athlon™ processor power, the system also employs 1GB bandwidth between nodes using Dolphin Interconnect's SCI (Scaleable Coherent Interface) Wulfkit, offering an efficient combination of fast network hardware and corresponding software.

"The combination of AMD's 1GHz AMD Athlon™ processors and our high performance Wulfkit Interconnect offers our users the scalability and performance they require for this generation of supercomputers," says Pat Darden, CEO at Dolphin Interconnect. The award-winning AMD Athlon™ processor is already employed in several supercomputers used for scientific research in both the academic and private sectors, including systems used in universities such as the University of Kentucky and the University of Utah, and in companies such as GeoCenter and MSC.Software.

Racksaver's 'Samson' supercomputer using AMD Athlon™ processors is expected to rank within the top 200 of the fastest supercomputers in the world based on the Top500 supercomputer list (http://www.top500.org/index.html), but should move to a higher ranking upon the addition of updated Linux compilers. UD officials are expected to conduct industry standard benchmarks over the next several months, including single processor benchmarks such as SpecINT and SpecFP, and the Stream memory bandwidth test.
