The high-performance computing cluster – Mowgli:
Mowgli is a 512 core HPC cluster, composed of 26 racks mounted nodes, located in the ICTS data center. Of the twenty-six, one is a head node and all others are execution nodes. This cluster is a heterogeneous cluster composed of two types of nodes, 16 nodes with 16-cores, 64 GB RAM each and 10-nodes with 24-cores, 96 GB RAM each. Cluster nodes are connected using Infiniband HBAs through a Mellanox QDR Interconnect switch. The cluster has a Network Attached Storage of 55 TB (RAID5) and a Network Attached archival Storage of 75 TB capacity usable after RAID. Read More >>
