Teraflop In A Box At SC2003
HPC Prophet writes "For those of you that can't go to SC2003 or can't afford the US$750 late registration, here is a small taste of what we put together for our friends at Mellanox Technologies...It benches out at over 1.2TFLOP (192 dual Intel Xeon Processor blades, 64 in a Rackable chassis, 128 crammed into a Ciara chassis and all connected via InfiniBand) and loaded up with Callident Rx (based on NPACI Rocks) OS/Middleware. Total estimated time to unpack, build and get up and running was 17 hours." Read on for some details on this power-hog.
"We had the single-most power density for the smallest size booth they offer (380amps @ 208v in a 5U of rack space (look closely at the bottom of the middle rack containing all the cables and InfiniBand switches). Cooling was very nice too, we maxed out our Liebert HVAC when building it initially. Oh, by the way, this would end up somewhere in the neighborhood of #38 on the June 2003 Top500 list. There are a couple of other pictures on there too of some of the other attractions at SC2003 like the 128-node cluster that NPACI folks will build in a 2 hour period. Sorry about the cheezy slide show, I had to be quick."
I like that they actually put this demo together with Windows XP Power Toys.

Windows XP Powertoys?

Several of the lectures are being broadcast via high bandwidth video if you are on Internet2.
Pooh,,. I think I'm still on Internet0.5.
Where is the invention and innovation?
;-)
Perhaps you missed the bit about building the world's 38th most powerful computer (based on June '03 figures) in 17 hours? Damn impressive by any counts.
Well, since June '03 approximately 3600 hours have passed; 211 times 17 hours - who knows what the competition is up to
SCO employee? Check out the bounty
