Head Node: Fujitsu RX300 S8 – 1 node CPU:- 2 numbers Intel XEON processor, 2 x 6 total 12 cores RAM:- 8 x 8 GB total 64GB Connectivity:- Infiniband & Ethernet Compute Nodes: Fujitsu RX500 S7 - Total 8 nodes CPU:- 4 numbers Intel XEON processor, 4 x 8 total 32 cores /node RAM:- 16 x 16 GB total 256 GB/node Connectivity:- Infiniband & Ethernet Software Specification:- Operating System:- RHEL 6.4, Kernel 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 Cluster Management Toolkit:- GANANA (Locuz proprietary) Scheduler:- Univa Grid Engine (uge-8.1) Compilers:- GNU, Intel Cluster Studio XE 2013 SP1 Libraries:- GNU, Intel Cluster Studio XE 2013 SP1 MPI Libraries:- Intel MPI, OpenMP MATLAB:- MATLAB is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation. Comsol Multiphysics:- COMSOL Multiphysics is a finite element analysis, solver and Simulation software / FEA Software package for various physics and engineering applications, especially coupled phenomena, or multiphysics IDL:- IDL (Interactive Data Language) is a programming language used for data analysis. IDL is vectorized, numerical, and interactive, and is commonly used for interactive processing of large amounts of data (including image processing). Principle The codes written in the FORTRAN, MATLAB, and COMSOL that required large computing power can run on this system. The use of the parallel environment of this system in these codes can efficiently reduce the computational time for performing the simulation jobs. Applications This HPC system can be used for modeling the Earth-Space system processes. System availability:- System will be available for the external academic users depending on the availability of the processors time of this HPC system. External users will have to provide the job details, required CPU time and storage space at the time of the request application. Accessing and usage of IIG HPC Cluster is governed by IIG policies and procedures. |
