| IA-64 Cluster SDSC's IA-64 cluster currently consists of 262 IBM cluster nodes, each with dual 1.5 GHz Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, for a peak performance of 3.1 teraflops. |
HPSS A centralized, long-term data storage system. HPSS has the capacity to store 25 PB of data, and data is added at an average rate of 240 TB a month. |
| OnDemand OnDemand cluster is a Rocks cluster with Intel dual-socket, dual-core compute nodes. The 2.0 GHz, 32-way nodes have 8 GB of memory. OnDemand has a nominal theoretical peak performance of 2.4 TFlops. |
Disk SDSC now offers 1.1 petabytes of online disk storage. The IBM Serial-ATA expansion to SDSC's Storage Area Network will make it one of the largest data storage resources for academic research. |
| Blue Gene With 3,072 nodes and rated at 17.1 teraflops, BlueGene provides a glimpse into the future of cost-effective compute power in a small package. |
SAM-QFS SAM-QFS at SDSC is a high-performance archival storage system for data collections. Using SAM-QFS, users with data allocations may access data directly using a disk cache filesystem; the data then automatically migrates to tape. |
| Software Applications Obtain access to a variety of installed HPC software such as StarP covering a range of disciplines including bioscience, geoscience, astronomy, chemistry, medicine, etc. |
Data Management A variety of data management and analysis, mining, and visualization tools such as the Storage Resource Broker and applications. |
