Itshould be available for pilot from November, and if you are interesting in the pilot service, • please contact Ivan Wolton (icw@soton.ac.uk). The production system should be available • for everyone by Semester 2. • It consists of a head node with 4 quad-core 2.3GHz opteron processors and • 32GB memory and 16 compute nodes. • The compute nodes are half the size (i.e. 2 quad-core 2.3GHz • opteronprocessors with 16GB memory). • It is anticipated to provide up to 1.3TFlops, but Ivan was keen to lay down • a challenge for anyone to achieve that.
