SDSC Resources
SDSC provides and supports a wide range of computing and data resources for the research community. These resources are available for use by the University of California researchers, to academic researchers in the U.S, and to industry affiliates.
TritonThis resource comprises three major components:
a Petascale Data Analysis Facility (28 Sun X4600M2 nodes),
a 256-node Compute Cluster (256 gB222X Appro blade nodes),
and a Data Oasis (2-4 Petabytes disk space).

DashA new TeraGrid resource with a peak speed of 5.2TF,
68 compute nodes with two quad core Nehalem processors and 48GB of
memory per node. The new resource will be initially targeted to users
wishing to evaluate and adapt their applications to emerging technologies,
including flash memory and virtual SMP nodes. |
OnDemand ClusterA 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.
|
Sun X64 (Bebop)A Solaris machine that is exclusively reserved
for data analysis and data mining with SAS software.
|
Storage Resource Broker (SRB)A client-server middleware connecting to
heterogeneous data resources over a network and accessing replicated
data sets.
|
High Performance Storage System (HPSS)A centralized, long-term data storage system. HPSS has the capacity to store 25 PB of data, and data is added at a
rate exceeding 100 TB a month. For national users, HPSS is part of the SDSC Tape Storage.
|
SAM-QFSA high-performance archival storage system at SDSC. It allows users to directly access data using a disk cache filesystem,
then automatically migrates the data to tape. For national users, SAM-QFS is part of the SDSC Tape Storage.
|
Global Parallel File System - Wide Area Network (GPFS-WAN)A centralized file system for long- or short-term data storage of high-volume multi-site runs, as well as large TeraGrid-based data collections. GPFS-WAN is a 613-TB storage system mounted on several TeraGrid platforms.
