HECC engineers recently augmented Merope with 448 additional Westmere nodes that were repurposed from Pleiades, bringing the total number of Merope Westmere nodes to 1,152. The installation was preceded by the removal of all of Merope's Nehalem racks in order to make room for the new nodes.
For more information about the new Merope configuration, including how to connect and run PBS jobs, see the following Knowledge Base articles:
