EOI - CSIRO (AUS) - Large-memory Computer System

CSIRO ASC wishes to replace its SGI Altix 4700 large-memory (512 Gbyte) system with a system using x86 (ia32) compatible processors with 64-bit extension. This will provide processor and software compatibility with nearly all the other systems accessible by CSIRO users, but will uniquely provide a large-memory capability. The system will be used for data-intensive computing, and general shared-memory and other parallel computing. It will interface to existing storage systems. At least double the capability of the Altix is desirable.
