IBM to Build 1.6 Petaflops Super for Los Alamos Lab
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

IBM has snagged a contract with the U.S. Department of Energy to build a 1.6 petaflops hybrid supercomputer for the Los Alamos National Laboratory by the end of 2007 or early 2008. The supercomputer, code-named "Roadrunner" after the New Mexico state bird, is expected to be the fastest supercomputer in the world when it is completed. Roadrunner is also an example of a hybrid processor architecture, because it will be based on both Opteron X64 processors from Advanced Micro Devices and Cell PowerPC processing elements from IBM.

HP Completes Montecito Itanium Rollout into Integrity Servers
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Server maker Hewlett-Packard last Thursday completed the revamping of its Itanium-based Integrity server line with the rollout of new machines that employ a home-grown chipset and Intel's "Montecito" dual-core Itanium 9000 processors.

by Timothy Prickett Morgan

According to a survey released by market analysts at TheInfoPro, spending on servers could be softening this year. TheInfoPro conducted in-depth surveys with 133 IT shops in the second quarter, and has released a new report that compares server spending from last winter and the middle of this year. The survey respondents indicated that their projections for server spending for the full 2006 year have fallen sharply by the middle of this year compared to late last year, when these same shops were asked what their server spending plans were for 2006.
