Compute Cluster Overview
The Triton Compute Cluster is an Appro HyperGreen Cluster based on the new Intel Xeon processor 5500 series. The design utilizes 90%-plus efficient power supplies and a 20% power reduction compared with standard rack servers. It is scheduled to be in full production by October 5, 2009.
The cluster features Appro gB222X Blade Server nodes with dual quad-core Intel Xeon E5530 processors with Intel Microarchitecture Nehalem, running at 2.40 GHz. Each of the 256 nodes has 24 gigabytes of memory and an eight-megabyte cache. See complete details at the Intel specs page. In addition, Triton has four front-end nodes to handle administrative tasks.
Each node has a 10-gigabit Myrinet connection, giving the system a total bandwidth capacity of 256 gigabytes per second. The cluster has a peak theoretical throughput of approximately 20 teraflops and contains six terabytes of memory.
The cluster will expand to include an additional 64 nodes with 48 gigabytes of memory, using an InfiniBand interconnection, for a total of 320 production nodes scheduled for availability.
See complete specs on the HyperGreen Cluster Solution at the Appro HPC products page.
