Saudi Aramco researchers now will have more computational clout as the Research and Development Center's (R&DC's) High Performance Computing Cluster grows. For many of the company's research activities, advanced software requires massive supercomputer networks operating more than a hundred times faster than the local area network and requiring vast data storage expressed in terabytes instead of gigabytes. --MORE
