In order to assist faculty in preparing grants, the CNRG maintains this page of descriptions for our services.  This page describes the services we offer in a format that we have been told is what is most often needed.



Computation Cluster

The computation cluster consists of ten worker nodes, with each worker node containing two quad core Intel E5530 2.4 GHz CPUs and 24GB of RAM.  These nodes are connected via 1 Gb/s Ethernet to a Cisco 3650 switch, which in turn is connected to the head node via 10 Gb/s Ethernet.  This system is connected to 100TB of disk space, which is backed up daily. This cluster uses the ROCKS 5.2 cluster distribution.

EBI Cluster

The EBI cluster consists of 25 worker nodes, with each worker node containing two quad core Intel E5440 2.8GHz processors with 16GB of RAM.  These nodes are connected via 1GB/s Ethernet to a Cisco 3650 switch, which is in turn connected to the head node.  The head node is connected to an Infortrend A24G-G2430 system which provides 33TB of storage, which is backed up daily.  This cluster uses the ROCKS 5.0 cluster distribution.
