QPACE2
QPACE 2 (Quantum chromodynamics, QCD Parallel Computing Engine) is a massively parallel and scalable supercomputer. It was designed for applications in Lattice QCD, lattice quantum chromodynamics but is also suitable for a wider range of applications.. Overview QPACE 2 is a follow-up to the QPACE supercomputer and the iDataCool hot-water cooling project. It is a combined effort of the particle physics group at the University of Regensburg and the Italian company Eurotech (company), Eurotech. The academic design team consisted of about 10 junior and senior physicists. Details of the project are described in. QPACE 2 uses Intel Xeon Phi processors (a.k.a. KNC), interconnected by a combination of PCI Express (abbreviated PCIe) and FDR InfiniBand. The main features of the QPACE 2 prototype installed at the University of Regensburg are * scalability * high packaging density * warm-water cooling (no chillers are needed) * high energy efficiency * cost-effective design The prototy ...

QPACE (Quantum chromodynamics, QCD Parallel Computing on the Cell (microprocessor), Cell Broadband Engine) is a massively parallel (computing), massively parallel and scalable supercomputer designed for applications in Lattice QCD, lattice quantum chromodynamics. Overview The QPACE supercomputer is a research project carried out by several academic institutions in collaboration with the IBM Research and Development Laboratory in Böblingen, Germany, and other industrial partners including Eurotech (company), Eurotech, :de:Knürr, Knürr, and Xilinx. The academic design team of about 20 junior and senior scientists, mostly physicists, came from the University of Regensburg (project lead), the University of Wuppertal, DESY Zeuthen, Jülich Research Centre, and the University of Ferrara. The main goal was the design of an application-optimized scalable architecture that beats industrial products in terms of compute performance, price-performance ratio, and energy efficiency.
