curie - Intel Nacona Cluster
Curie is a 30-node cluster operated by the CSM Laboratory and is open
to use by all science division faculty and their students. Curie's aggregate
computing capacity is approximately 203 gigaflops. Funding for curie was
provided by the HHMI.
- The head node has dual 3.0 Ghz 64-bit Intel Nocona processors with
4GB of RAM. It also has a 200GB RAID 1 drive and a 2.4TB SCSI external
raid 5 array.
- Fifteen original compute nodes also have dual 3.0 Ghz Intel Nacona processors
with 4GB of ram, dual 1000Base-T Ethernet interfaces, and a single 200GB
hard disk. A Linpack calculation produced results up to 123 Gigaflops utilizing the 30 processors
- In Sept of 2009, additional HHMI funds purchased fourteen more nodes each containing dual 3.2 Ghz Intel Nacona processors with 2GB of ram, and a single 250GB hard disk. Linpack generated results up to 203 Gigaflops performing calculations across 56 processors.
