SGI Solutions to Accelerate Stanford University's Research on Solar Variability

Published on 26 Aug 2010

Hansen Experimental Physics Laboratory Solar Observatories Group at Stanford University has chosen SGI server and storage infrastructure to support the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) group’s critical research on the origin of solar variability, SGI reported. The SDO strives to understand the characteristics of the Sun’s interior and the components of its magnetic activity to help forecast space weather, and relies on SGI’s technology to receive, process and archive massive amounts of data.

“For the first time, scientists are able to comprehensively view the dynamic nature of storms on the Sun. The immense amount of data collected during our research requires a powerful HPC solution capable of ingesting and analyzing data quickly and with precision,” said Phil Scherrer, principal investigator, Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager, Stanford University. “SGI provides us with the computing and storage infrastructure to seamlessly accomplish our research and help us predict solar events.”

To manage this daily data influx, SDO’s hybrid HSM utilizes SGI high performance computing (HPC) server and storage products, including: SGI® Altix® XE 340 server cluster, SGI® InfiniteStorage NAS 4550, SGI® InfiniteStorage 10000 and Spectra Logic T950 tape library. Together, these products provide three petabytes (PB) of total online and near-line storage, and are able to consolidate, process and quickly access satellite data to enable accurate predictions of space weather from solar activity.
