The bwForCluster for computational and theoretical Chemistry Justus is not in live operation yet. The cluster is scheduled to enter live operation on December 5th, 2014.
Contents
1 System Architecture
The bwForCluster for computational and theoretical Chemistry Justus is a high-performance compute resource with high speed interconnect. It is intended for chemistry-related jobs with high memory (RAM,disk) needs and medium to low requirements to the node-interconnecting Infiniband network.
1.1 Basic Software Features
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7
- Queuing System: MOAB/Torque
- modules system
1.2 Common Hardware Features
A total of 444 compute nodes plus 10 nodes for login, admin and visualization purposes.
- Processor: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2630v3 Prozessor (Haswell, 8-core, 2.4 GHz)
- Two processors per node (2x8 cores)
- 1x QDR InfiniBand HCA, single Port, Intel TrueScale
1.3 Node Types
There are three types of compute nodes, matched for increasingly less scalable and more memory-intensive (RAM and disks) jobs.
Diskless nodes | SSD nodes | Large Memory nodes | |
---|---|---|---|
Quantity | 224 | 204 | 16 |
RAM (GB) | 128 | 128 | 512 |
Disk Space | - | ~1TB | ~2TB |
Disks | - | 4x 240 GB Enterprise SSD | 4x 480 GB Enterprise SSD |
RAID | - | RAID 0 | RAID 0 |
