IMF Builds A Grid
The global economic crisis has presented the International Monetary Fund with an interesting opportunity to help countries solve their economic troubles and restore its credibility (which over the last few years has been tainted by scandal and internal financial problems).
To make the most of this opportunity, the IMF is beefing up its economic modeling and risk analysis. To support this effort technologically, it's building a high-performance grid based on Platform Computing's Symphony software and servers containing IBM Cell processors and Intel chips.
