CSL Computers and GAUs Available

Computational resources available for CSL projects:

June 1, 2009 - November 31, 2010

Approximately forty percent of the computational resources (shown below) are for CSL projects. The total system configuration includes interactive share nodes and I/O nodes which are not shown below.

System	Number of batch processors	Number of batch nodes	Memory capacity	Disk capacity
IBM Power 575 (bluefire)	3776 POWER6 processors (4.7GHz)	118 32-way nodes	2 or 4 gigabytes per processor	150 terabytes

CSL GAUs available per month: 1,326K per month

GAUs are calculated based on wall-clock time. For more details see: http://www.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/bluefire/be_quickstart.html#queues

• CISL will provide data analysis and processing computers to CSL researchers. No GAUs are charged to CSL projects for the use of these computers.
• CISL's Mass Storage System (MSS) is available to CSL researchers. Additional resources are allocated for the use of the MSS after a CSL allocation is made. CSL applicants should not request any GAUs for use of the MSS.
