A new supercomputer enables new kinds of research: "CSC, the Finnish IT center for science, acquires a new supercomputer system, which means a significant leap in performance of computer resources available for Finnish researchers. The new system enables new kinds of research and increases accuracy of current simulation models. At the same time CSC extends its super-cluster system as well. The purchase is totally funded by the Ministry of Education and the equipment will remain the property of the Finnish state under the possession of the Ministry of Education." This is great. Having a Cray system provides the peak capability, and the HP cluster provides cost-efficient capacity for less scalable applications. A great leap forward for computational science in Finland.
