Aster

aster.jpg The Aster cluster was purchased by Dr. Christopher Tam (Math Department) and the Boing Company for a joint research project, entitled "Modeling of Large Scale Turbulence Structures". The Modeling of Large Scale Turbulence Structures Project is composed of the computation of the shock cell structures in the supersonic fan steam of a jet aircraft engine, development of a model for large scale turbulence structures, testing of the model, and the formlation of a shock-cell noise predicaion theory. The aster cluster is dedicated to the calcutations related to this project.

The hardware configuration consists of the following:

  • 1 head node configured with:
    • 8 Gigabytes of RAM
    • 4 Dual-core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 870 2GHz
    • 67 GB for home directories exported to compute nodes
    • 688 GB of scratch exported to computer nodes
    • Single Gigabit Ethernet interface
  • 33 compute nodes configured with:
    • 2 Gigabyte of RAM
    • 2 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 2GHz
    • Approximately 40 GB of local disk space
    • Single Gigabit Ethernet interface
