Computational Lab Grid
The lab-wide computational grid is a large collection of server clusters
that support both compute-intensive experiments as well as a suite of
high-performance and reconfigurable computing and networking testbeds.
This grid consists of several large clusters and many other small ones, in a variety of configurations. A broad range of
reconfigurable computing testbeds are featured including technology from
GiDEL, Nallatech, Pico Computing, Cray, Celoxica, and Alpha Data, featuring Altera and Xilinx
FPGA devices, and a broad range of high-speed networking testbeds including
DDR and SDR InfiniBand, Quadrics QsNetII, Myrinet, SCI, and Gigabit
Ethernet. Click HERE for more information on the
FPGA-based reconfigurable computing resources in these systems, and HERE for more information on the networks.
