Computing: Chinook (HP 2310-Node Linux Cluster)

Quick Specs

  • 2,310 nodes
  • 4,620 quad-core 2.2-GHz processors
  • 36.96 TB of memory
  • 18,480 local disks (1,330,560 GB)
  • 924 GB/second local disk bandwidth
  • 250 TB global file system size
  • 2,112 global file system disks

EMSL's Hewlett Packard (HP) high-performance supercomputer, named Chinook, began Phase-1 operation in August 2008. When complete, the HP/Linux supercomputer will have 2,310 nodes each with two quad-core AMD Barcelona processors (2.2 GHz), allowing 162.6 trillion calculations per second peak performance.

The system has an aggregate memory of 36.96 terabytes of RAM; 1,330 terabytes of local disk; and 250 terabytes of shared global disk.

Computing time is allocated based on externally peer-reviewed competitive proposals (see User Access).
