KNOW THE SUPERCOMPUTERS

Know the Supercomputers – I

Cray XT4 Jaguar
The Cray XT4 sprints Linux and has an imposing velocity of 205 teraflop per second by using its AMD x86_64 Opteron Dual Core 2600 MHz processor. The entity is stored at DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and is the chief arrangement in the National Leadership Computing Facilitation. The system was installed in 2006 by Cray inc. and has 11,706 CPU nodes. Each node has 4GB of reminiscence and a 2.6 GHz Dual-core AMD Opteron processor, which facilitates the 205 teraflops/s of processing power. The setting up has a horde of accessible reminiscence in the form of 600 TB of disk breathing space obtainable to be utilized in the luster file system, which is barely made enhanced by the XT3 Internal Interconnect organization that permits for extremely high bandwidth.

Sun Sun-Blade x6420 Ranger Cr
The “Ranger” arrangement built in 2008 captures a lightning swift 326 teraflop/s and is domicile at the Texas sophisticated Computing Center at the University of Texas – Austin. The entity runs on Linux and has an AMDx86_64 Opteron Quad Core 2000Mhz of dispensation power. “Ranger” has 125,952 GB of reminiscence, which is accommodating for the significant amount of science research the supercomputer is utilized for. The unit has by now endowed with quite a few unparalleled breakthroughs in the computational science and technologies investigate monarchies.
