We are a very ambitious university, with an ambitious plan in place, and the acquisition of the SGI 2400 server is a component of that plan. It is cutting-edge technology, and if you're going to be one of the top 100 research universities, you have to invest in the best infrastructure possible. We are pleased that SGI identifies with our desire to be among the best. The SGI 2400 system, configured with two InfiniteReality2 TM graphics pipelines, will support as many as 200 simultaneous users running real-time simulations and traditional batch processes. The university's work also includes projects intended to boost local industries.
Visualization is crucial for scientific interpretation.
