The Center for Simulation & Modeling has acquired a 800 core cluster from Penguin Computing. This new cluster has 100 nodes each with two quad-core Intel Nehalem CPUs. The computer nodes are connected via a high speed Infiniband network, which will deliver exceptional performance for parallel calculations using large numbers of CPUs. The new computer cluster will run the Scyld and TaskMaster software from Penguin Computing which will greatly facilitate management of the cluster and effective utilization of the computational resources.
