NASA Glenn Aeroshark Cluster
|
The
Pentium III Aeroshark cluster is a network of 64 compute nodes (128 CPUs).
Each node has two network interfaces; one for message passing traffic,
and the other for disk and system I/O. The cluster is used to execute
significant turbomachinery simulations in a production mode

An
important objective of the High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC)
Program is to accelerate the development of affordable, high-performance computers
by domestic vendors. This includes a wide range of computational abilities,
from scaled parallel machines, to cost-effective high-performance workstations,
all networked together in a unified, heterogeneous computing environment.
The NASA HPCC Program is developing tools and techniques that can be used
to forecast the performance of Grand Challenge applications in various high-performance
architectures. System evaluations consider the effect of the distributed system
environments on performance and are used to analyze the requirements of Grand
Challenge applications (for example, CPU, memory, storage, and communication
resources).
