As high performance computers have been developed, they have found increasing application in many diverse scientific and engineering areas. These include structural analysis, fluid dynamics and weather prediction, along with environmental modelling, materials development, molecular design, life science, oil exploration, image processing, medical analysis and aerospace industry.
These application areas require large numerical simulations to be carried out in a short time. This often calls for performance beyond that available from either traditional vector supercomputers or parallel computers.
To meet these needs, Hitachi has developed the SR8000 Series, or Super Technical Server, as the successor to both their vector supercomputer S-3000 and parallel computer SR2201.
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
