The new list of the world's 500 fastest computers is also anticipated - an annual feature of the ISC. transtec currently occupies 104th place with a Xeon cluster for the University of Karlsruhe. The manufacturer installed this high-performance cluster with a gross capacity of 750 TB at the beginning of this year in the University's PC Centre - one of the largest of its kind in Germany. transtec set up a Lustre® file system with InfiniBand Interconnect. The storage area now achieves a data flow of several GB a second.
transtec has been an ISC sponsor since 2006. The ISC is Europe's leading trade fair and conference for high-performance computing, network technology and storage technologies. The most important manufacturers in the industry will be presenting their products and solutions at this interface to state-of-the-art research.
