Gilgamesh Project

at Feza Gürsey Institute

Gilgamesh project is aiming at building a high performance computing cluster in Feza Gursey Institute. The current machine consists of 16 computing nodes and a server node. The hardware configuration of the machine is as follows

Hardware

Head node (Gilgamesh): Pentium IV 2.4 GHz. With 1GB of PC800 RDRAM and 2x40GB of disk space.
Slave nodes (Enkidu's 1-8): Pentium IV 2.4 GHz. With 512MB of PC800 RDRAM and 40GB of disk space.
Slave nodes (Enkidu's 9-16): Pentium IV 2.4 GHz. With 512MB of DDR400 RAM and 40GB of disk space.
Interconnect: Allied Telesyn, 24-port fast ethernet switch.

Thus we have an aggregate of 9GB of RAM and 720GB of disk space.

Software

Oprating System is RedHat Linux 9.0.
Clustering is achieved by OSCAR 3.0.
GCC 2.95.3, (mainly for MDP-FERMIQCD).
GCC 3.2.2.
Intel Fortran and C,C++ compilers, versions 7.1 and 8.0. Unsupported versions.
Intel Math Kernel Libraries, 6.1 (trial) and 5.3. Unsupported versions.
Lapack and blas, parallel and serial versions.
