About HPC and associated computing systems
UA has several central computing systems available for research computing. Each system provides different capabilities. Users can select the appropraite platform(s) to optimize their computational research projects. Research groups can add nodes to the Shared Memory and Cluster systems, see the Base-Plus "buy-in" option.
- Shared Memory - SGI Altix 4700 (1.6 GHz Itanium2 "Montecito")
- Marin - Interactive Front End, Altix 4700, 100-core Itanium2, 160 GB memory
- Bora - Batch System, Altix 4700, 512-core Itanium2, 1024 GB memory
- Solano - FPGA subsystem, 4 Xilinx Virtex 4 LX200, Altix 4700, 16-core Itanium2, 16GB memory
- Cluster - SGI Altix ICE 8200 (2.83 GHZ quad-core Xeon, "Harpertown")
- Ice - Interactive Front End, 3 "round-robin" login nodes
- cluster - 1392-core, quad-core Xeon (Harpertown), 2 GB memory/core
- FPGA - SGI Altix 4700
- Solano - FPGA subsystem, 4 Xilinx Virtex 4 LX200, Altix 4700, 16-core Itanium2, 16GB memory
