Parallel Distributed Supercomputing

As part of the BCF we offer access to two Beowulf Linux SuperComputers.

The first Beowulf named "Jacinto" consists of 609 GB of local storage and 3.5 TB of Lustre parallel striped storage. Compute nodes consist of 19 dual Opteron 2.4Ghz CPUs, 4 GB of memory and 200 GB of RAID1 storage. Networking interconnets are bonded dual gigE to a 48 port gigE switch.

The second Beowulf named "Alamo" consists of approximately 0.3 terabytes of storage, 10 GB of RAM and 45 Pentium and Xeon-style compute nodes. All nodes are connected over switched 100-baseT networks and can be accessed through the firewall using secure shell.

For more information on access to the Beowulf systems, please contact Borries Demeler.
