New computers which we call "SDPA cluster" is now in operation. The specification of the SDPA cluster is as follows;
16 Nodes, 32 CPUs, 128 CPU cores;
CPU : Intel Xeon 5460 3.16GHz (quad cores) x 2 / node
Memory : 48GB / node
HDD : 6TB(RAID 5) / node
NIC : GbE x 2 and Myrinet-10G x 1 / node
OS : CentOS 5.3 for x86_64
Linpack : R_max = 1.435TFlops, R_peak = 1.618TFlops, R_max / R_peak = 88.69%
The cluster is mainly aimed for developing and evaluating the software SDPARA and SDPA. We expect that it will break a wolrd record for solving extremely large-scale SDPs. We also have a plan to use it as computing resources of the SDPA Online Solver.
