Total exclusive computing power: 4.7 x 10^12 IPC (663 GHz x 7.1 average IPC), 173 GB RAM, 35 TB HD.
Our primary computations are performed by a "farm" of 320 processors, with two processors assigned to a single machine. These machines run the Linux operating system. This is exclusive to our group and the eventual goal is to expand this to over a thousand processors.
Our computing setup can be broken down as follows:
| Type of machine | Number of machines/CPUs | CPU/machine | RAM/machine | HD/machine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| farm | 32/64 | 2 GHz | 512 MB | 60 GB |
| farm | 32/64 | 3 GHz | 512 MB | 140 GB |
| farm | 32/64 | 3.4 GHz | 1024 MB | 160 GB |
| farm | 32/64 | 4.8 GHz | 1024 MB | 160 GB |
| farm | 32/64 | 5.2 GHz | 1024 MB | 320 GB |
| desktops | 18/38 | 2-5.6 GHz | 1024-10240 MB | 100-1280 GB |
| servers | 2/4 | 2.8-3.3 GHz | 2048 MB | 760-1840 GB |
| laptops | 4/4 | 0.7-2.4 GHz | 512 MB | 32 GB |
Colour and B&W printers, scanners, and miscellaneous computing hardware are also readily available.
