crude desulphurization techniques to modeling fuel combustion. The cluster is currently up and running with a planned capacity expansion expected by late 2010 to handle the projected growth, according to a report carried by Saudi Aramco's web-site. “The HPC Cluster performs simulations of experiments that are cheaper, faster and safer than actually performing the experiment,” Facilities Services head Emad A. Kohaji said during a recent recognition event. Maan H. Shami of the R&DC Computational Team commented: “The cluster is a new Windows-Linux hybrid platform with several simulation packages working at the same time. This is a new experience for both the Research and Development Center and Information Technology.”
