New resources available in Cracow

In the middle of 2003 new computational resources have become available in Cracow for our ALADIN team.

First of all the SGI 2800 of the Cracow Supercomputer Center CYFRONET was upgraded. All 128 R10k and R12k processors were replaced with R14k 500 MHz ones, operational memory was enlarged up to 64 GB the and disks volume reaches now 1394 GB. For our operational purposes we are granted with 8 processors and 9 GB HDD now.

After 2-years delay we have obtained a new group server : it is a SUPERMICRO SuperServer 7042M-6 tower. Here are its main features :

• - processors : 2 x Intel Xeon 512k L2, 2.4 GHz, FSB 400 MHz
• - operational memory : 2 GB RAM, ECC DDR-200
• - disk matrix : 6 x 36 GB Ultra-160 SCSI HDD's, RAID-5
• - tape archive : DAT DDS-3, 12/24 GB
• - operating system : Red Hat Linux
• - proprietary software : Lahey Fortran 95 compiler, PV-WAVE
  

Due to greater available resources enhanced operational suite is under preparation.
