Itavis Storage Solutions has delivered Denmarks largest supercomputer

The University of Copenhagen has acquired a supercomputer that will become Denmark’s absolute biggest and fastest.

It was physicists and astronomers from The Niels Bohr Institute and The Department of Chemistry who placed the order for this new powerful mega computer.

The Super computer from IBM is provided by Itavis Storage Solutions and will be the absolute fastest and with the utmost’s processing in Denmark.

It consists of 400 CPUs with a total of 1,640 cores, and it can process faster than 1,500 brand new computers. The system has also assigned a 250,000 GB hard drive.

If the same amount of information was stored on CD-ROMs and stacked on top of each other it would reach more than half a kilometer high (535 meters, or nearly 13 times Rundetrn).

Solving the Puzzles of the Universe

The physicists at the Niels Bohr Institute require a tremendous processing power in their research. Their experiments conducted at CERN, the European organization for nuclear research, Génve in Switzerland, where the researcher in solving the universe natural forces and substances building up in the first milliseconds after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago.

Next year in a 27 km long underground LHC nuclear accelerator they’ll create ‘mini Big Bangs’ in which the nuclei (protons) collides with fierce energy and degrade to the toddlers elementarv particles.
