A supercomputing consortium plans to decide within the next two weeks on a tender for what it claims is the first large cluster in Australia dedicated to computational engineering.

The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing (VPAC) says it is considering acquiring a Linux-based cluster to service a multi-million dollar, three-to-five year contract with Holden at the car manufacturer's new Innovation Centre at Fisherman's Bend in Melbourne.

VPAC's chief executive officer, Professor Bill Appelbe, told ZDNet Australia the supercomputing cluster would have the capacity to handle a peak of 150 gigaflops or 150 billion floating point operations per second. Each of the cluster's processors would handle up to four gigaflops.
