Upgrading A Supercomputer
November 19th, 2009 : Rich MillerWhat’s it like to perform a processor upgrade on one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers? In this video, Al Enger from Cray, Inc. walks through the upgrade process of the Kraken supercomputer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which holds the number three spot in the new Top 500 list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. Enger is upgrading Kraken’s quad-core AMD Opteron chips to Opterons with six cores. This video runs about 4 minutes.

Hi Paula. Thanks for the correction. I’ve corrected Al’s last name in the story and excerpt got the RSS feed. The video is from AMD, so they’ll need to fix that on their end.
