| DreamWorks to bake 3D flicks on desert cloud |
|---|
In a sign of the economic times, DreamWorks Animation has inked a deal with the New Mexico Computing Applications Center to use spare capacity to help render its 3D films.
The machine is based on Silicon Graphics' Altix ICE Xeon-based blade server clusters and is currently configured with 14,336 Xeon processor cores running at 3 GHz, using the "Harpertown" quad-core Xeons in two-socket blades and 28 TB of main memory.
The whole shebang runs Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and SGI's ProPack 5 extensions for HPC workloads.
