HECC engineers have completed the latest augmentation to Pleiades with the integration of 14 new SGI Haswell compute racks. The expansion brings the total number of Haswell racks to 29, and increases Pleiades' theoretical peak performance from 4.49 to 5.35 petaflops.
The new Haswell processors are now in production and are available to all users. See the following Knowledge Base articles for more information:
