Pitt Prof Chooses Xserve G5 for Genetics Cluster Computer

Univerity of Pittsburgh Assistant Professor Dr. Michael Barmada evaluated the solutions offered by Dell, SGI, IBM and Cray but chose the Xserve G5 for its ease of management and the ease of porting UNIX applications to run on it. "[T]he added benefits that we can reap," he stated "[are] the Xserve’s vectorization and G5processor’s vector and 64-bit capabilities." Dr. Barmada's work is profiled on this Apple science web page.
