IBM Power Systems Using Ubuntu in Cancer Treatments

35

IBM Power Systems servers are not something that you’d think to find helping a Ph.D. candidate fight cancer, but that’s just the case. Also, the fact that they are running Ubuntu should not surprise anyone.

IBM Power Systems have been around for quite some time and these servers have made a name for themselves for being powerful and relatively cheap, given what they offer. They are usually found in more business settings, but there is nothing stopping them from working in other environments as well, like in medical research.
