HP High Performance Cluster LC Series LC2064 Model-M

HP High Performance Cluster LC Series LC2064 Model-M ... Computing LC Series of compute farm clusters is the first announcement in a series of HP IA32 High Performance Computing solutions. The LC Series is designed to give the entry to mid range high performance computer customer a range of cluster performance choices. The node sizes and interconnect options to satisfy a range of uses and application environments from 16 node non blocking switched 10/100 Fast Ethernet clusters to 128 node high bandwidth low latency message passing clusters using the de facto compute cluster interconnect standard Myrinet XP Fiber NICs and Switches. With the 11 individual pre-configured cluster configurations, the customer has a wide choice of options to meet their specific computing needs.

LC 2064 Model-M is the 64-node Pentium P4 Xeon Linux Cluster that consists of a DL380G3 Control node/Management Server, 63 DL360G3 Compute nodes, one Myrinet XP 9 Slot Switch Frame and 8 Switch Modules, 4 HP Procurve 2650 10/100 Fast Ethernet switches, a Rackmount keyboard/ mouse and monitor, in 2 10642 (42U) Racks.

The top of the line mid range cluster supporting from 163.2 to 273.4 GFLOPS based on 1P and 2P measurements gives the best overall Linpack performance in the 64 Node family at an attractive price / GFLOP. With up to 19.1TB of cluster disk storage available across the nodes, this cluster can perform the most demanding workloads for message passing applications.
