SHC Cluster Expansion

CACR’s 163 node Shared Heterogeneous Cluster (SHC) has recently expanded by an additional 20 nodes. Each of these new nodes contains 16 GB of memory and have two quad-core, 2.5 GHz AMD Opteron Processors (model 2380). As with the existing SHC nodes, each of the new nodes is connected via Infiniband to CACR’s Infiniband Switch.

The SHC provides computing capabilities specifically configured to meet the needs of applications from Caltech’s PSAAP, Turbulent Mixing, Applied and Computational Mathematics, and Numerical Relativity communities. For more information about the SHC, including information for test users of the new nodes, see this page.
