A £7.5m Cambridge University drugs research institute has adopted a Linux-driven 64-bit computing system to handle data on tablet formulation and drug doses.

The Pfizer Institute, a collaboration between the University of Cambridge, the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre and drugs company Pfizer, has installed a Beowulf high-performance computing cluster based on dual Intel Itanium 2 processors within an eight-node HP Integrity rx2600 system.

This turnkey solution is powered by RedHat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server, and was configured by reseller Cambridge Online Systems.
