- -+The purpose of the UCSC/HHMI Kilokluster project is to provide high throughput computational +services for bioinformatics applications. With over one thousand processors operating in parallel, +the KiloKluster might be one of the most powerful computational clusters used for bioinformatics +in the world.
++Because of the massive growth that UCSC has been experiencing, space has been a primary issue in the +planning of this project. Thanks to the space saving designs of +Rackable Systems, the KiloKluster occupies only nine racks +and is less than one hundred square feet in size.
++The KiloKluster consists of 504 compute nodes. Each compute node contains two Pentium III processors +running at 866Mhz, a gigabyte of memory, and a forty gigabyte hard drive.
++The compute nodes are divided into eight sub-clusters, each with its own switching apparatus and +server. The compute nodes are networked using fast ethernet, and the sub-clusters are connected to +each other and to a main server through a gigabit ethernet switch.
++Sun's open source Gridware software is used to assign +tasks to the compute nodes. We chose Gridware primarily because of its open source (thanks Sun!), +and its ease of use compared to other open source schedulers. +
+Technical questions may be directed to +cluster-admin@cse.ucsc.edu.
