Romulus Cluster
Romulus is functional. It is also constantly under development and testing.
Hardware
HeadNode:
Intel Core2 Duo E6600 - 2.4GHz CPU
4 Gb DDR2-800 (4-4-4-12) RAM
A 1 Tb RAID-5 storage server will be online shortly.
Computation Nodes (x 11) :
Intel Core2 Duo E6600 - 2.4GHz CPU
2 Gb DDR2-800 (4-4-4-12) RAM
...nodes Romulus1-Romulus4 use an
Intel Core2 Duo E6750 - 2.66GHz CPU
Arithmetic and large-scale numerical model benchmarks are being generated.
Notices (downtime, etc.)
4/20/2008: Installed nodes Pompeii1-Pompeii4
4/20/2008: Replaced the E6600 CPU's with E6750's in Romulus1-Romulus4
