This is an image of COSMOS simulations of early galaxy formation. Description:
March 1, 2007, to March 1, 2008, marks the fourth International Polar Year (IPY) – a large scientific program focused on research in both polar caps, the Arctic and the Antarctic, to recognize the strong links these regions have with the global climate changes. This year’s activities mark China’s first International IPY efforts, and the Polar Research Institute of China (PRIC) selected compute technology from SGI to enable its important scientific research mission.

This is an image of COSMOS simulations of early galaxy formation. Description:
With the study of the ice-sea model, PRIC researchers will predict the global climate changes as well as low and medium latitude climate trends. PRIC researchers are running a host of climate models which benefit significantly from the 64GB of shared-memory of their new SGI Altix 4700 server.
