UNI Clusters

UNI is currently hosting several computational clusters. In this section, I'll describe those that I am personally involved with administrating.

The [LittleFe] cluster consists of 16 compute nodes plus additional servers. The compute nodes are dual-socket, dual-core opteron-based Tyan systems for a total of 64 cores. The communication backbone is mainly Gigabit, with portions starting to be built out with Infiniband. The additional servers include fileservers, authentication servers, and submit nodes where users can develop and troubleshoot their codes.

The [Langmuir] cluster consists of 6 compute nodes plus one additional server. The compute nodes are dual-socket, single-core Xeon systems purchased from Appro. There are 12 cores in total available in the compute nodes. The additional server node handles authentication, file services, and is the submit node for the compute node services.

The [State Farm Cluster] consists of 16 compute nodes plus two additional server nodes. The compute nodes are dual-socket, single core Opteron systems purchased from Appro. There are 32 cores in total available across the compute nodes. The two additional servers are used for authentication, file services, and as submit nodes where users can develop and troubleshoot their codes.
