| Description: The Hybrid Shared-Memory / Massively-Parallel Commodity Cluster provides cost-effective super-computing at Stanford. The machine, which was in the top 50 most powerful supercomputers in the world when first tested, has now dropped to a position between 300 and 400, showing how world-wide super computer power keeps growing. With its 2,200 compute cores, and its high-speed Infiniband communication channel, this machine is still able to cater for the needs of its diverse community of over 260 users in almost 50 groups from over 20 different departments at Stanford. The machine has been reliable and available over 99% of the time. The machine has been very cost-effective in its total cost of ownership: complete support of the system has been provided by one half-time employee. We have achieved this low total cost of ownership by very careful design of the configuration as well as a general reluctance to make changes. |
