Overview

The ASCC occupies 2000 sq. ft. of beautifully renovated space in the Dana Research Center at Northeastern University. The high performance cluster contains 16 state-of-the-art EV6.7 (667 MHz) Compaq Alpha processors distributed equally among 4 boxes (es40) with a fast memory channel interconnect between the boxes (see diagram). Three of these four boxes will have 4GB RAM each, while the fourth box will have 16GB RAM to allow memory intensive simulations. A network of workstations (technical specifications) provides an additional computational resource. A TL891 DLT Mini-Library provides automated backup. The entire ASCC domain is hard-wired with CAT7 wiring and supports a switched 100Mb environment. The operating system is Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1
