Beowulf Prototype Systems: CS-0 and CS-1
Collaboration with LoBoS project at NIH
Prototype Systems - LAM 6.2 (MPI), compilers (GCC 2.95, PGI, Absoft etc.)
- CS-0 (~ £13K):
- Master Node
- Pentium II-266, 128 MByte, 9 GByte UW-SCSI disk, 4 MByte graphics cards, monitor, network card, keyboard, CD-ROM
- Compute Nodes (8)
- 6 x Pentium-266 (128 MB), 2 x dual Pentium II-266 (256 MB); all with 4 GByte UW-SCSI disk, 3 network cards, minimal graphics. 12 port 100Base-T Fast Ethernet switch
- CS-1 PIII/450 + FE (~ £50K):
- Master node
- Pentium II-266, 256 MB; 4 GB system disk, 9 GB UW-SCSI user disk
- Compute nodes (32)
- Pentium III-450, 256 MB ECC SDRAM, 10 GB UDMA disk
- connected to the master via a Fast Ethernet switch
- All nodes are also connected to each other via a second Fast Ethernet switch dedicated to the parallel communications traffic.
