Cornell Theory Center (CTC) has announced an agreement with Dell, Intel and Microsoft that secures $60 million worth of resources to provide a suite of Windows-based, high-performance computing solutions and services to business, government and academic clients. CTC operates the world's largest Windows/Intel/Dell computing complex. CTC is a pioneer in the use of "clusters" of computers operating in parallel to achieve supercomputer speeds. The latest clusters at Cornell consist of Dell PowerEdge 7150 and 2650 servers with Intel Xeon processors and running the Microsoft Windows operating system. The grant will greatly expand CTC's outreach efforts to help the private sector apply this technology to integrate intensive computer simulation and analysis tools into the workplace. (August 5, 2002)
