ARSC has acquired significant new supercomputing resources under the 2008 Technology Insertion process, through the DoD HPC Modernization Program.
ARSC is receiving two Cray XT5 systems, a primary production system and a smaller test and development system. Here's the configuration of the primary system:
ARSC Cray XT5
Frames - 5 Cray XT5 frames
Cores - 3456 (432 nodes)
Memory - 13.5 TB
Disk - 150 TB
Interconnect - Cray SeaStar
Estimated peak performance - 31.8 Tflops
The new Cray XT5 will replace Iceberg, ARSC's 800 processor IBM P4 supercomputer. Iceberg has served ARSC users well and performed in an outstanding manner, but it's reached the end of its production life.
The new supercomputer will expand ARSC's capability to provide leading edge HPC resources to a global community of researchers. Additional information will be available in future newsletters, announcements, and on the ARSC web site.
