IA-64 Linux Cluster User Guide
Notice: The SDSC IA-64 Linux Cluster will be retired from service on Tuesday, June 30th. Please be sure to retrieve all files from your home directory and from /gpfs by the retirement date. (Note that /gpfs is not the same as /gpfs-wan, which will continue to be available/) You will be able to use your allocation on the NCSA Mercury IA-64 cluster, which is virtually identical in its operations to the SDSC IA-64 cluster. For more information, please contact SDSC Consulting.
SDSC's IA-64 Linux Cluster consists of 262 IBM cluster nodes, each with dual 1.5 GHz Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, for a peak performance of 3.1 teraflops. The nodes are equipped with four gigabytes (GBs) of physical memory per node. The cluster is running SuSE Linux and is using Myricom's Myrinet cluster interconnect network.
