| The CSDMS High Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC), '''''blanca.colorado.edu''''',
| |
| provides CSDMS researchers a state-of-the-art supercomputing facility.
| |
| Use of the CSDMS HPCC is available free of charge to the CSDMS community! Follow [[HPCC_account_requirements|these guidelines]] to request a one year guest account on our machine.

| |
| | |
| The CSDMS High Performance Computing Cluster is an [http://www.sgi.com SGI] [http://www.sgi.com/products/servers/altix/xe Altix XE] 1300 that consists of 88 Altix XE320 compute nodes (for a total of 704 cores). The compute nodes are configured with two quad-core 3.0GHz E5472 (Harpertown) processors. 62 of the 88 nodes have 2 GB of memory per core, while the remaining nodes have 4 GB of memory per core. The cluster is controlled through an Altix XE250 head node. Internode communication is accomplished through either gigabit ethernet or over a non-blocking [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InfiniBand InfiniBand] fabric.
| |
| | |
| Each compute node has 250 GB of local temporary storage. However, all nodes are able to access 36TB of RAID storage through NFS.
| |
| | |
| The CSDMS system will be tied in to a 153 Tflop front range HPCC called Janus, that offers 1368 compute nodes with 2 2,8 Ghz 6 core Intel Westmere processors for a total of 16,428 cores employing non-blocking QDR Infiniband network.
| |
| | |
| Some benchmarks that we've run on blanca:
| |
| * The OSU [[ CSDMS_HPCC_OMB_benchmarks |micro-benchmarks]]
| |
| * [[CSDMS_HPCC_HPL_benchmarks| High-Performance Linpack Benchmark]]

| == Attribution and Reporting of Results ==
| |
| When reporting results which were obtained on the CSDMS cluster, we request that the following language be used as an acknowledgement:
| |
| | |
| "We acknowledge computing time on the CU-CSDMS High-Performance Computing Cluster."
| |
| | |
| Also, please notify us of any tech reports, conference papers, journal articles, theses, or dissertations which contain results which were obtained on blanca. Your assistance will help to ensure that our online bibliography of results is as complete as possible. Citations should be sent to [mailto:CSDMSsupport@colorado.edu us].
