Our primary computations are performed by a cluster of 1488 CPU cores. All our machines run the Linux operating system. This is exclusive to our group and the eventual goal is to expand this to a few thousand processor cores.
Our computing setup can be broken down as follows:
| Type of machine | Number of machines/CPU cores | Speed/machine | RAM/machine | HD/machine | Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| farm | 32/64 | 3.4 GHz | 1024 MB | 160 GB | fp65-fp97 |
| farm | 32/64 | 4.8 GHz | 1024 MB | 160 GB | fp98-fp128 |
| farm | 32/64 | 5.2 GHz | 1024 MB | 320 GB | fp129-fp160 |
| farm | 6/144 | 54 GHz | 48389 MB | 8 TB | fp161-fp166 |
| farm | 2/128 | 140.8 GHz | 256 GB | 10 TB | fp167-fp168 |
| farm | 4/256 | 134.4 GHz | 256 GB | 8 TB | fp169-fp172 |
| farm | 10/640 | 134.4 GHz | 256 GB | 8 TB | fp1-fp10 |
| sandbox | 2/12 | 19.8 GHz | 6144 MB | 6 TB | sb1-sb2 |
| server | 2/128 | 134.4 GHz | 256 GB | 9 TB | mv1-mv2 |
| server | 2/24 | 2.3 GHz | 2048 MB | 760-1840 GB | sp1-sp2 |
| Storage device | Total storage (GB) |
|---|---|
| das1-2 | 27200 |
| nas1-2 | 800 |
| nas3-4 | 20000 |
Colour and B&W printers, scanners, and miscellaneous computing hardware are also readily available.
More information on the configuration of our clusters and use of Linux be gotten at Ram Samudrala's Linux Page.
We can be inventive also when the chips are down:
