Retired Resources

The following resources have been provided by SDSC in the past, and have been retired and decomissioned.

Retired compute and data resources

Resource	Highlights	Date Retired
IBM BlueGene/L	Formerly SDSC's largest system with 3,072 compute nodes and 384 I/O nodes, with a total of 6,144 processors and 1572.9 GB of memory. Peak performance - 17.2 teraflops.	June 30th, 2009
IA-64 Linux Cluster	IA-64 Linux Cluster consisted of 262 IBM cluster nodes, each with dual 1.5 GHz Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, for a peak performance of 3.1 teraflops. Note that although IA-64 has been retired, the login nodes are still available to login to GPFS-WAN. For more information, please see the GPFS-WAN page.	June 30th, 2009
IBM DataStar	An IBM terascale machine built in a configuration especially suitable for data intensive computations. It included 96 8-way P655+ nodes with 16 or 32 Gb of memory and 32-way P690 nodes with 128 or 256 Gb of memory. Peak performance - 15.6 teraflops	October 1st, 2008
OnDemand Cluster	The OnDemand cluster was a Rocks cluster with Intel dual-socket, dual-core compute nodes. The 2.0 GHz, 4-way nodes have 8 GB of memory. OnDemand had a nominal theoretical peak performance of 2.4 TFlops.	April 2010
