- Computing Resources in the Collaboration
At CMU: These resources are split with our lattice QCD group with whom we share operations of the cluster. All CPUs are roughly 2.4GhZ nodes and all are under three years old at the moment. 32 dual-quad core AMD machines -> 256 compute cores 1GB core per CPU 12 quad-eight-core AMD machines -> 384 compute cores 2GB core per CPU 180TB of RAID storage spread across several servers 10Giga-bit backbone from the RAID servers to the switches and 2Giga-bit connections to each compute node. Over the next few years, we anticipate purchasing around 16 boxes of the next generation of CPUs (quad-sixteen or thrirty-two core boxes). We also expect to double our disk storage capability as we start to retire some of our very old few-TB servers.
At FSU: this is what we have at the moment: 4 AMD Opteron 48-core computing servers --> 192 cores 20 Intel quad-core computing servers --> 80 cores 300 GB of RAM 85 TB of storage accross 6 RAID servers 1 Giga-bit network connections between servers and 10 Giga-bit network backbone from campus.
