IQUDU - e1350 Linux high-speed computer cluster with 160 nodes

Hardware

  • Each node is equipped with two dual-core AMD Opteron 2.6GHz Rev. F processors (640 CPUs in total at approximately 2.5 Teraflops/s peak performance) and 16GB of DDR2 667MHz random access memory.
  • The nodes are interconnected with the shared-file system of the SAN, accessed over the Infiniband 4X SDR 10 GB cluster via HTX from Voltaire and PathScale.
  • Eight of the cluster nodes are equipped with ClearSpeed accelerator cards
  • In addition to local hard disks, all nodes have access to a shared storage system with a capacity of 94TB via a General Parallel File System (GPFS)

The cluster platform, aptly called "iQudu" (isiXhosa for Kudu), symbolises the agility, speed and size of the cluster.
