The Mathematics and Computer Science Division (MCS) of Argonne National
Laboratory installed a single rack BG/L system (BGL)
in January 2005.
Argonne BGL Configuration
The BG/L system is designed to achieve high performance for low cost
and with low power consumption. BGL has the following
configuration:
-
Compute - 1024 dual PowerPC 440 700MHz 512MB nodes
-
Storage - 14 TB of clusterwide disk (currently using the
MCS Parallel Virtual File System (PVFS)) and 3.5TB of home
directory filespace.
-
Network - IBM BlueGene Torus, Global Tree and Global Interrupt
See the Argonne BG/L System Description document
for complete details of the Argonne BG/L system.
Availability and Usage
BGL is a research machine and
is open to MCS developers, ANL scientists, partner DOE labs,
BG/L Consortium members,
MCS collaborators, universities and many others. If you are interested
in an account on BGL, please contact support@bgl.mcs.anl.gov.
