Supercomputer Wrought by LIPI

EV

Supercomputer owned by the existing LIPI of its(the position resides in Center Research of Physicist (Puspitek) Serpong. Besides applied by the area Physicist researchers and other researcher, supercomputer that is aflame 24 hours is also on the market generically. Handoko mentions, whosoever which will do calculation with level of high obstacle can apply the supercomputer freely.

If seen from its(the type, this very scarce supercomputer and spelled out members [by] enough on uniques because result of assembly x'self. Its(the circuit only placed at glass box formed like cupboard;locker of the size 1,5 x 2 meter. other Keunikan is supercomputer assembled by Handoko and this team some spare its(the part still using model Pentium 486.

" Pentium permanent stripper of we use, because basically of course this computer task only did counting," he said. Its(the peripheral is simple enough and assembles it is not as difficult imagined. Requirement of peripheral required is type mother board, LOUVRE and LAN card. Whereas other component like Hardisk, graphical video, modem and other not in using. Even so, performance of its(the assembly supercomputer having speed that is enough reliable. If packed into world supercomputer category, its(the assembly still above low supercomputer level.

" Predicted speed of this supercomputer can reach 150 gigaflops. As comparison for low supercomputer type of its(the speed stays at the range of 135 gigaflops," says Handoko.

Ensemble x'self

Super of computer basically is aliance from some computers taken as one. Its(the peripheral is very simple and in principle looks like computer network in office. In company and in banks, usually administrate system applies a kind of this computer ridge model, but the numbers only some and was not stringed up for the sake of calculation that is quickly.

To make it is more intelligent and has quicker performance, computer must have system which can assort a comand. This distributor system there is in one peripherals PC. Hereinafter distributable operation task to other computer circuit so-called with note. In Center Physicist Research, number of computers ( note) reachs 45
