  • Intel Xeon 5560 (nehalem)
  • Nvidia Tesla S1070 (consisting of C1060 devices)


Features

  • Operating System: ScientificLinux 5.3 (internal test on Windows HPC Server 2008)
  • Batchsystem: Torque/Maui/Moab
  • node-node interconnect: Infiniband + GigE
  • Global Disk 60 TB (lustre)
  • OpenMPI
  • Compiler: Intel, GCC, Java
