Applications

Force10 Networks provides the line-rate, non-blocking Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch/routers that are integral to the infrastructure of scores of critical high performance computing systems. Force10 switch/routers are utilized in 6 of the top 15 and over 20 of the top 100 fastest supercomputers in the world.

Forschungszentrum Jülich, the New York Center for Computational Science (NYCCS) in Stony Brook, NY, and the Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovation at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, all rely on the Force10 E-Series uncompromising resiliency, density and line-rate performance for their impressive IBM BlueGene supercomputers. With computing power of over 167 Teraflops (trillion floating point operations per second), the supercomputer JUGENE, at Jülich, has the brawn to take advantage of the E-Series vast switching capacity.

The fastest Dell cluster computers — at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, NNSA/Sandia National Laboratories, Texas Advanced Computing Center and the Louisiana Optical Networking Initiative — utilize Force10 for their indispensible 1 & 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks.

 

The Top 500 fastest supercomputers which rely on Force10 switch/routers are listed below; the Top 500 ranking (e.g. 2nd fastest in the world) is shown to the left of each supercomputer and customer.
