Core i7s nodes are quad cores with HyperThreading.  This means that they have 4 cores, but present 8 cores to the operating system.  Therefore you will see these nodes having 8 CPUs when looking at them in [http://necluster.engr.utk.edu/ganglia/ Ganglia].  Since they actually only have 4 cores, you will not get a linear increase in speed once the CPU is running more than 4 threads.  However, since there still is a perceptible increase in speed, it is beneficial to use all 8 threads rather than just limiting yourself to 4.

Information on Installed Nodes

There are 5 "generations" of nodes installed on the cluster. The oldest nodes are AMD dual core, the medium-old nodes are Intel Core 2 quad cores, and the latest nodes are Intel Xeon quad cores and Intel Core i7 quad cores with HyperThreading. Our last acquisition is the AMD Opteron Supernode. The specifications of each node are given in detail below. The overall distribution of nodes in queues is shown in Node-Queue_Matrix.

All nodes use Fedora as their operating system.

AMD Opteron supernode

Opteron supernodes have 4 CPUs, 12 real cores each, that is 48 physical cores in total. The machines are to be used for highly parallel computations with huge MPI traffic. THey are connected with Infiniband interconnect. Please ask the admins if you would like to use it. Each supernode has a small disk array mounted in /data. If the user of the supernode uses only one node, the user should use that filesystem for I/O.

Node Name Node CPU RAM Swap
node0 4x AMD Opteron 6234 @ 2.4 GHz 128 GB 100 GB
node1 4x AMD Opteron 6234 @ 2.4 GHz 128 GB 100 GB

Intel Core i7 Nodes

Core i7s nodes are quad cores with HyperThreading. This means that they have 4 cores, but present 8 cores to the operating system. Therefore you will see these nodes having 8 CPUs when looking at them in Ganglia. Since they actually only have 4 cores, you will not get a linear increase in speed once the CPU is running more than 4 threads. However, since there still is a perceptible increase in speed, it is beneficial to use all 8 threads rather than just limiting yourself to 4.

We currently have 31 of these nodes in the cluster. They spread three generations of corei7: The gen3 queue is Nehalem (11 nodes), gen4 queue is Sandy Bridge (3 nodes), and gen5 is Haswell (17 nodes).

Intel Xeon Nodes

There are workstations re-purposed as compute nodes. They are comparable to the Core i7s, but with more cores.

Node Name Node CPU RAM Swap
node32 2x Xeon X5680 @ 3.33GHz 48 GB 50 GB
node33 2x Xeon X5660 @ 2.80GHz 48 GB 50 GB

Intel Xeon Virtual Nodes

There are five virtual nodes running inside Windows workstations. Each of them has a quad core Intel Xeon of SandyBridge architecture, identical to the Core i7s, but without HyperThreading. This machines are connected to the rest of the cluster nodes by a virtual private network (VPN), which is ~1.5 order of magnitude slower than the Gigabit interconnect used by non-virtual nodes. Therefore these machines should not be used for MPI jobs. Virtual nodes are best suited for sequential programs, OpenMP jobs, and code development.

Node Name Node CPU RAM Swap
vnode1 Xeon E31220 @ 3.10 GHz 8 GB 50 GB
vnode2 Xeon E31220 @ 3.10 GHz 8 GB 50 GB
vnode3 Xeon E31220 @ 3.10 GHz 8 GB 50 GB
vnode4 Xeon E31220 @ 3.10 GHz 8 GB 50 GB
vnode5 Xeon E31220 @ 3.10 GHz 8 GB 50 GB

Intel Core 2 Quad Nodes

These are slightly older machines. They have 4 physical cores and no HyperThreading, so when you look at them in Ganglia you will see that they have 4 CPUs. They are still reasonably fast.

We currently have 5 of these nodes in the cluster. In addition, node18 has a similar architecture, but has 2 CPUs (8 cores total).

AMD Dual Core Nodes

These are the "ancient" machines. They have two physical cores, and also no HyperThreading. If speed isn't that important you should use these nodes. They're also good at adding some speed to your MPI MCNP runs when using the balance flag. Compiling and other disk I/O tasks are also suited well to these nodes, since all nodes have the same delay when writing to the file servers.

We currently have 6 of these nodes in the cluster.
