The NASA SEWP (Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement) GWAC (Government-Wide Acquisition Contract) provides the latest in Information Technology (IT) products for all Federal Agencies. The statutory authority allowing usage of the SEWP contracts by the entire Federal Government is NASA's designation as an Executive Agent by OMB based on the Information Technology Management Reform Act (ITMRA) of 1996, now the Clinger Cohen Act.
The SEWP IV contracts are for use by NASA, all Federal agencies and authorized federal agency contractors. |
| Advanced HPC is an authorized Sales Agent for Sword & Shield Enterprise Security's NASA SEWP IV Contract Number NNG07DA21B. |

The Office of Information Technology RCS group working in conjunction with Joe Lipman from Advanced HPC and Peter Hwang from AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) set up a 48-core Opteron AMD node available to the campus for testing so that all interested Research groups at the campus can test and benchmark their code. The 1U 48-core can replace an entire 48U rack of Broadcom nodes that they currently have on campus.

The Jaiswal Lab and CGRB (Center for Genome Research and Biocomputing) working with Joe Lipman from Advanced HPC, Inc. and Randy Pinney from AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) have setup a 48 core Opteron AMD node available to the campus for testing. |
The Center for Genome Research and Biocomputing facilitates the development, application and training in computationally intensive, genome-enabled research at OSU and across the state. Research in the CGRB and faculty affiliate laboratories seeks to improve health, better utilize natural and agricultural resources, understand our global environment, and develop new bio-based products and energy sources. The Center offers leadership and services to faculty, staff and students through core laboratories, computational facilities, seminars and technology workshops, and conferences. It also provides a focal point for researchers to establish contacts, initiate collaborations, and apply new technologies in their own laboratories.

The compute cluster installed at University of Rhode Island consisted of AHPC Mercury Quad-node Servers and QLogic networking.
"Our research group at URI studies atmosphere-wave-ocean interactions in hurricanes. Our primary goal is to improve numerical models for hurricane predictions. This research is funded by NSF, NOAA and Navy. The AHPC cluster will help us to do computer simulations more efficiently and to teach graduate students numerical methods used for atmospheric and ocean modeling." |

"We worked with Advanced HPC through several different designs for our server virtualization cluster, which we are going to use to replace all of our current servers. Everyone I dealt with was extremely helpful and was able to accommodate all of our changes. The Supermicro servers that we ended up with are extremely fast and stable- I am glad that I chose to go with a local company."

The Beowulf-class Supercomputer consisted of AHPC Mercury Twin-node 1U servers with infiniband connectivity housed in a specially
air-cooled rack. |

"We use computers to simulate the interactions bewteen molecules in solution. Our current studies are focused on understand peptide aggregation, the intial step in many human diseases, under a variety of conditions. These simulations typically require large amounts of computer time due to the large number of interactions that need to be evaluated."

Texas A&M University is using their new cluster to
research surface salinity and currents over the Texas-Louisiana
continental shelf. To force the model, they use wind (blue arrows) provided
by NCEP, and the measured Mississippi River discharge (the blue fill at the
bottom). |

"My research group is enjoying our new cluster. We have been working on a new, large model grid, that would have been unworkable on our older
technology. The new cluster has allowed us to get results and improve our
simulations in a reasonable amount of time. We've had a good experience with Advanced HPC, from sales to service."
