Hardware

Euler is a 22 node Beowulf Linux cluster made up of one master node, 21 slave nodes, and connected by a 24 port 10/100/1000 ethernet switch. The cluster was put together for us by PSSC Labs.

Each node, including the master, has two AMD Opteron 248 processors and 4 GB of PC3200 SDRAM.

The master node is configured with two 120 GB 7200 RPM IDE hard drives running in a RAID 1 (mirroring) configuration for the operating system and shared user data storage space. The mirroring is being done in hardware by a 3Ware 7006-2 PCI RAID controller.

Each slave node is configured with one 80GB 7200 RPM IDE hard drive for the operating system.
