Some Title
A421A - Beowulf Cluster
If you want to move, click the down arrow.
The IUMSC Beowulf cluster consists of nine dual-CPU Compaq Proliant ML370 systems connected together by a dedicated, switched fast ethernet / gibabit ethernet network. Switching duties are handled by an HP Procurve 4000M switch equipped with five 10/100-base TX modules and one gigabit module. One Proliant serves as the master node -- it alone is connected to the external network, and it handles all interaction with the outside world, including receiving job submissions, serving logins, and keeping logs -- the remaining systems are dedicated to computation as directed by the master. The master node has two gigabit ethernet interfaces, one for the external network and one for the internal, whereas the other nodes use fast ethernet interfaces to the internal network only.
