Ewald, chief executive officer of Linux Networx, said in a prepared statement. "We are honored to partner with the DoD on this key technology project," Robert "Bo" H. Nietubicz, director of the ARL MSRC and director of the High Performance Computing Division in the Computational and Information Sciences Directorate, said increases in computing capability will help Defense scientists and engineers solve more complex problems in a time frame that can provide the data needed to help with weapon development and procurement decisions. The department is modernizing its high-performance computing capabilities, and the High Performance Computing Modernization Program is providing the supercomputer services, high-speed network communications and computational science expertise that enable the Defense laboratories, including the Army Research Laboratory, to conduct focused research, development and testing. The company said details about the Dugway Proving Ground LS-1 system will be announced later this year. It will be the first scientific visualization supercomputer in the Defense Department's High Performance Computing Modernization Program. The LS-1 for the center also will be deployed this summer. The three ATCs will be installed this summer, with two expected to be ranked in the top 20 of the world's most powerful computer systems. The MSRC's computing capability will be boosted to more than 80 trillion floating-point operations, making it one of the largest computing centers in the Defense Department. The department's five-supercomputer order includes three Advanced Technology Clusters and one LS-1 for the Army Research Laboratory's Major Shared Resource Center, plus an additional LS-1 for the Dugway Proving Ground. The company said this week that the department's order, the company's biggest, includes two of what are expected to be among the top 20 most powerful supercomputers in the world.

Now it has a supersize order placed by the U.S. BLUFFDALE - Linux Networx' business is supercomputers.
