PDSF Configurations of Hardware Systems
The PDSF is a networked system of UNIX workstations
and data storage facilities used to carry out large scale computational
requirements of High Energy Physics and Nuclear Science investigations.
Attractive features of the system include:
- Significant CPU power
- Large data storage capacity
- Environment capable of implementing parallel processing schemes
- Flexibility towards expansion and upgrades as production
needs grow
Note: The content of this page describes the PDSF
facility as it currently exists with additional notes covering
the expected evolution of the operation.
Also Note: The PDSF is a constantly growing and evolving system.
There are alway some test machines in the cluster to test compatibility
of new hardware and software. Also new hardware that is purchased for
PDSF goes through a burn in time before being added to the cluster. This
helps ensure minimal downtime. Test hardware has bolded names in the
description section.
