Tdgrocks - Hardware Specification


The cluster at HPCCC consists of 1 master node (Dual Intel Xeon 2.8GHz processors with 4GB RAM), 1 management node (Dual Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz with 2GB RAM), and 64 computational nodes (Dual Intel Xeon 2.8GHz with 2GB RAM), all linked by an Extreme Gigabit ethernet switch.

Please see the details of each system at the table below:

Master Node x 1
Model Dell PowerEdge Server 2650
Processor 2 Intel Xeon Processors at 2.8GHz with NetBurst Micro-architecture and Hyper-Threading technology
Front Side Bus 400MHz front side bus that allows for faster data throughput than 133MHz front side bus speeds
Cache 512KB L2 Advanced Transfer Cache
Chipset ServerWorks GC-LE chipset supports 5 PCI buses: 3 PCI-X (1 X 64bit/133MHz, 2 X 64bit/100MHz), 1 x 64bit/66MHz, 1 legacy bus (32bit/33MHz)
Memory 4 GB DDR SDRAM
Expansion Slots 3 full length PCI-X slots (1 X 64bit/133MHz, 2 X 64bit/100MHz)
Drive Controller Dual-channel integrated Ultra3 (Ultra160) SCSI Adaptec® AIC-7899 (160Mb/s) controller provides latest high performance SCSI technologies available without taking up PCI slots
