 | | 13 September 2005 The Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) has selected an SGI Altix high performance computer to deliver increasingly accurate land, high-altitude and marine weather predictions for Finland. |
 | | "We chose the SGI Altix because of the computer's shared memory architecture, which means that every processor has access to the complete memory; this makes it a very strong general purpose machine that is easy to port software to", stated Dr. Johan Silen, IT Director, Finnish Meteorological Institute. |
 | | FMI actively participates in European Union research programmes especially on the topics of stratospheric ozone depletion, climate and atmospheric composition changes, wind energy, Baltic Sea pollution and urban air pollution. |
