The scientists of Iranian High Performance Computing Research Center (IHPCRC) managed to design and implement the most powerful supercomputer of Iran. The system employs 216 Opteron cores in cluster architecture. The system enjoys 860 Giga operations per second as theoretical peak performance, and is going to be utilized for weather forecasting and meteorological research.

Linux is used as the operation system. The other software packages of the system for management and monitoring of system is provided by scientists of IHPCRC. Moreover, some meteorological applications such as MM5 and ARPS have been installed on the system.

There are lots of scientific and industrial applications that engage complicated calculations; obviously, they are not feasible without access to supercomputers. The samples of these applications can be found in Oil industry, Drug Discovery industry, Auto industry, Aerodynamics industry, Petrochemical and Polymer industry. Cluster Technology can fulfill all these applications.

The first Iranian High Performance Computing Research Center (IHPCRC) has been founded in "Amirkabir University of Technology". They produced the first Iranian supercomputer in 2001. They also implemented a cluster supercomputer for Iranian Space Agency to process on satellite images in 2003.
