Hewlett Packard made a generous donation of cutting edge computer equipment to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) this month. The donation consists of a four-chip, eight core Itanium-3 server. This is the latest Intel Itanium/Montecito computer processor system with multicore technology.
This award is a gift from Hewlett Packard's University Relations Department and will be used to support CSE’s research on dynamic optimization for multicore computer architectures. Research in this area is intended to make computers faster and more efficient. The equipment will be used by CSE faculty, students, and visiting researchers for research and development on optimization techniques for high performance computing applications.
CSE Professor Wei-Chung Hsu said some credit for this generous donation should go to the Gelato Federation, of which he’s a member. He said the federation is an international, collaborative Itanium Linux consortium that works to create and share open-source solutions for high performance computing problems.
