Agenda

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.
