High Performance Cluster Computing

SSOM's primary stand-alone research server is a Quad Dual-Core Opteron Sun V40 with 32GB of memory with approximately 500GBs of hard disk storage. This resource is primarily used for running research software that is cluster unaware. The server operates under RedHat Advanced Server version 4 (RHEL4-AS).

SSOM operates a second Sun V1280 server with four SPARC processors with 8GBs memory and 200GBs of hard drive storage. The server operates under Solaris 8 and is primarily used for investigator FTP sites and statistical (e.g., SAS) processing.

The SSOM High Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC) is Beowulf cluster consisting of 15 Dual-Core Opteron compute nodes with each operating a dual-Core Opteron processor, 2GBs of memory and 100GBs of hard drive storage. The cluster head node consists of a server with two dual-Core Opteron processors, 4GBs of memory and 1.2TBs of hard drive storage. The cluster operates under the ROCKS (version 4.2) operating system is primarily used for research software that is cluster aware.
