HPVM I: A Pentium Pro Cluster

The HPVM Pentium Pro cluster is a multi-purpose computing environment, supporting both traditional high performance computing, networking and clustering research, and novel national information infrastructure applications. The cluster configuration includes 20 nodes with a total of over 30 200Mhz Pentium Pro processors, 1.3GB memory, and 80GB disk . The cluster serves the following purposes:

• High performance distributed applications and high performance computing testbed on Windows NT.
• High performance networking testbed which explores software and hardware architecture issues relating to clustering, high performance distributed applications, and high performance networking. This research is being pursued by the Concurrent Systems Architecture Group .
• Shared interactive and dedicated use of cluster resources

Interconnects include:

• Myricom's Myrinet, a 640-1280 Mbps, low latency local area interconnect
• 100 Megabit Ethernet
