Argonne install 1 Tflop/s clusterBaltimore 19 November 2002 Linux NetworX has delivered a 1 Tflop/s Evolocity II (E2) Linux cluster to the US Argonne National Laboratory. The cluster, named "Jazz" by Argonne, is designed to provide optimum performance for multiple disciplines such as chemistry, physics and reactor engineering and will be used by the entire scientific community at the Lab.
"The Jazz cluster designed and built by Linux NetworX is both highly reliable and extremely configurable, which is essential since every division at Argonne will be using this system," said Remy Evard, director of the Laboratory Computing Resource Center at Argonne National Laboratory. "We selected Linux NetworX because they offered the ideal hardware configuration, unparalleled expertise in Linux clusters and the respect of our industry peers."
The Linux NetworX cluster will be part of the Laboratory Computing Resource Center at Argonne and is designed for multiple application domains including genomic sequencing analysis, turbulence modeling, molecular electronic structure and climate simulation. In order to facilitate multiple uses, the cluster has two separate disk arrays, offering 10 terabytes of disk space for parallel I/O, and 10 terabytes of disk space for programs and permanent data. Each node utilizes the Linux NetworX E2 node design, LinuxBIOS and ICE (TM) cluster management tools.
