The UNR Research Grid
Mission
The goal of the UNR Research Grid project is to facilitate computational research for all groups on the UNR campus.
State of the Grid
Cluster Status (Only available from on campus)
Collective Grid Specs
Total Specs:
- 149 compute nodes, with a total of 720 CPU Cores.
- Combined 1828 Gigabytes of RAM
- 24 Terabyte NAS.
Breakdown - the grid is comprised of a few separate clusters:
The Core Cluster
The Core Cluster of the UNR Research Grid is composed of Sun Fire X4100, X4140, X4200, and X4600 servers as compute nodes. A Sun Fire X4600 is used as the cluster's backend and a Sun Fire X4500 "Thumper" is used as the cluster's disk array. The Core cluster shows up as racks 0-4 in Ganglia.
Total Specs:
- 109 compute nodes, with a total of 640 CPU Cores.
- Combined 1668 Gigabytes of RAM
- 24 Terabyte NAS.
The LMR Cluster
The LMR Cluster is an older cluster of Sun Fire v20z nodes that was incorporated into the Research Grid. The LMR Cluster shows up as racks 40-41 in Ganglia.
Total Specs:
- 40 compute nodes, with a total of 80 CPUs
- 160 Gigabytes of RAM
