Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard 圆4 Edition Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 圆4 Edition The supported operating systems are identical for both the head and compute nodes. The Windows 2003 Computer Cluster Pack must be installed on a supported operating system. The cluster, named Lincoln, will serve strategic campus and state initiatives, with its peak performance approaching 6 teraflops.” This result, arrived at by using Dell PowerEdge 1855 blade servers, Cisco Topspin InfiniBand switches and Force10 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) switches, was sufficient to place the system at 130th on the Top500 list. “One such collaboration is with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 served as the underlying operating system for a new HPC cluster that recently achieved 4.1 trillion computations per second (teraflops) on 896, 64-bit Intel Xeon processors. More likely 896 cpu’s or as MS published: “The NCSA Windows CCS with 900 processors came in #130 on the Top 500 list in June: ”Īs per MS specs for WCCS: “Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 supports up to four processors per server.” In short NotParker please don’t bother to post if you don’t have something of substance that you would like to share with us. SLES 10 up to 1,024 processors and supports up to 10 TB of RAM.Īnd just to conclude this short lesson, in my view cluster != supercomputer, eventhough the debate is still on. Windows server 2003 datacenter 64 bit edition supports up to 64 cpu’s and addresses up to 1 TB RAM

Supercomputer OS does not comply with MS licensing scheme therefore MS can’t make money in that area.Īnd since I feel really generous I will spend some time enlightening you: Note from your posting: “Hansen declined to say how many CCS clusters have been sold.” Which goes to prove that they in it just for the money. When did MS release Windows CSS the first time?Ģ- You are trying to show that MS product is actually a good performer in that areaĬouldn’t be further from the truth here is some reading for you If this is the case, then you proved yourself to be an ignoramus and don’t mind time and effort to insult people around here who actually were involved in this field for some time. Therefore I’ll address couple of scenarios:ġ-You are trying to make a point contrary to my statement which you have quoted. What is your point here? I don’t get what are you trying to say?
