IBM and Umeå University Announce Energy Efficient. Supercomputer for Research 'Akka' is Europe's largest Windows compute cluster. STOCKHOLM, Sweden - 17 Jun 2008: IBM and Umeå University announced today that the most powerful Windows-based computer in Europe is being installed at the supercomputer center known as HPC2N. Scientists at HPC2N will use the powerful system Ö running on a beta version of Windows HPC Server 2008® Ö for basic as well as applied research. The computer Ö nicknamed 'Akka' Ö combines IBM Power® microprocesors and Cell Broadband Engines® with new energy-efficient Xeon® quad-core processors from Intel. Akka will be capable of sustained performance of 46 trillion calculations per second (46 teraflops) and a peak output of 54 teraflops. It would rank among the 50 fastest supercomputers in the world according to the current list of the TOP500 Supercomputer Sites (www.top500.org). It is about 3,000 times more powerful than a laptop computer. The High Performance Computing Center North (HPC2N) is a consortium of Universities and research institutes in northern Sweden, housed at Umeå University. It is a member of SNIC, the Swedish Research Council's metacentre for high performance computing. Akka will serve as a powerful resource for the Swedish academic research community with a range of application areas including space science, material science, bioinformatics, theoretical physics and chemistry, engineering sciences, as well as basic research in parallel algorithms, library software and middleware for grid infrastructure. The system runs two operating systems Ö Windows and Linux Ö in what is known as a dual-boot design.
