　"The system achieved a rendering rate of 1.5 billion polygons per second while running Computational
　 Engineering International's (CEI) EnSight DR – three times the previous rendering record. In addition,
　 when the system’s GPU count was doubled it achieved a maximum of 3.23x performance increase,
　 a phenomenon known as superlinear scaling. Additionally, a record 589 million polygon model was
　 processed – the largest ever for EnSight DR"

　"The system that set the visualization record features 64 Linux Networx visualization nodes with
　 128 AMD Model 280 Dual-Core processors. Each node features two Graphics Processing Units.
　 The system has 1,024 GB of total RAM, an InfiniBand interconnect, and includes Ensight DR Version 8,
　 RedHat Enterprise Linux, Linux Networx Clusterworx Management Suite and Linux Networx Host
　 Failover Solution."
