Maui High-Performance Computing Center to Install 5,120-Processor Cluster Using Dell’s Ninth Generation Servers

The Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC), an Air Force research laboratory center managed by the University of Hawaii, has announced that it will install a 5,120-processor high-performance computing cluster using Dell servers. The acquisition is the largest in the history of MHPCC and the first significant purchase from Dell.

MHPCC is a national resource chartered to help solve complex computational problems for the United States Department of Defense and other government users. The new cluster, made up of 1,280 Dell PowerEdgeTM 1955 blade servers with dual-core processors, will increase computational capability to more than 60 teraflops.

“The computational capacity provided by Dell will advance MHPCC to the forefront of high performance computing and re-establish it among the leaders in the Department of Defense research and development community,” said Gene Bal, executive director of MHPCC. “The new system will complement the Department of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program’s array of high performance computing resources.”
