Cluster Configuration:

I.      Hardware.

The core part of mphase cluster consists of 60 dual and single processor Linux machines purchased from the major cluster builders in the country (Microway and Aspen Systems)
  • 44 dual CPU rack-mount AMD MP 1.6 GHz from Aspen Systems;
  • 8 single CPU boxes AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz from Microway;
  • 8 dual CPU boxes P-III 866 MHz from Microway.
The machines are interconnected over a 100 MBit switching private network.


II.      Software.

The operating system installed is Debian Sarge 3.1. Computational resources are managed by Sun Grid Engine (SGE) 6.0 queue system

Compilers installed:
  • GNU gcc-3.3.5 C/C++ and Fortran 77 (gcc, g++ and g77)
  • IA32 Intel 9.0 C++ and Fortran 90/95 (icc and ifort)
  • PGI 6.0-5 C/C++, F77/F90 (pgcc, pgCC, pgf77, pgf90).
    OpenMP support is included in PGI for parallelization on SMP dual-CPU nodes.
