[General] KOC deploys Sun Linux cluster

[Bashar Al-Abdulhadi]

Originally from http://q8linux.net/article372.html :

Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has completed deployment of a Sun and 
Linux-based high performance computing cluster, which will be used for 
oil reservoir simulations and other intensive computing tasks.

The 154 node cluster is based on Sun Fire x4100 entry level servers 
using AMD Opteron processors, running Red Hat Linux Enterprise Edition. 
The deployment was managed by Sun executive partner Kuwait Diyar Company.

According to KOC, the company was looking for a powerful, yet cost 
effective solution that would enable them to run simulations much more 
quickly than previously, and also tackle multiple tasks at once. The 
system has now cut the time required for complex simulation studies from 
days to weeks.

amazing setup indeed :) anyone seen such setup or even smaller cluster 
in any other government / large enterprises in Kuwait?
