Linux Networx cluster systems certified to run eclipse reservoir simulation software.Linux Networx announced recently its Evolocity cluster systems are now certified to run the ECLIPSE reservoir simulation Reservoir simulation is an area of reservoir engineering in which computer models are used to predict the flow of fluids (typically, oil, water, and gas) through porous media. software from Schlumberger, the world's leading oilfield services company. Linux Networx is the first Linux high performance computing (HPC (Handheld PC) A palmtop computer that weighs less than one pound and runs specialized versions of popular applications. Microsoft coined the term for its Windows CE operating system, which is an abbreviated version of Windows. See Pocket PC. ) specialist supplier certified to run the ECLIPSE reservoir simulation software. The Evolocity system certified with ECLIPSE allows oil and gas organizations to benefit from a powerful, cost-effective Linux cluster system ready to run one of the most prevalent reservoir simulation applications. "Oil and gas companies are investing heavily in technologies to help improve the performance of their existing fields under production, particularly in mature oil provinces such as the North Sea, the Arabian Gulf Arabian Gulf: see Persian Gulf. and the Gulf of Mexico Noun 1. Gulf of Mexico - an arm of the Atlantic to the south of the United States and to the east of Mexico Golfo de Mexico Atlantic, Atlantic Ocean - the 2nd largest ocean; separates North and South America on the west from Europe and Africa on the east ," said Eric Pitcher, vice president of technical marketing for Linux Networx. "ECLIPSE is a premiere software tool in reservoir fluid-flow simulations. By matching this widely-used application with the performance and ease-of-use of our Evolocity clusters, customers can achieve higher productivity on a stable computing platform See platform. ." The Schlumberger European Service Center in Aberdeen, United Kingdom is currently running ECLIPSE on a Linux Networx Evolocity cluster system. The certification includes 64-bit systems based on dual-processor AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron nodes, Infiniband high-speed interconnect and the SUSE Professional 9.1 Linux operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. distribution. Linux Networx joins the list of certified hardware vendors included in this year's release of ECLIPSE.
