>From the MSI webpage, it says the bladecenter is: "...a Linux Cluster from IBM. It is a IBM BladeCenter H with 307 LS 21 nodes. Each node has two dual-core 2.6 GHz AMD Opteron processors sharing 8 GB of memory."
The interactive node that I can read /proc/cpuinfo on says there are 4 cores, each with: vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 65 model name : Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2218 stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 2600.209 cache size : 1024 KB uname -a: Linux blade288 2.6.5-7.244-smp #1 SMP Mon Dec 12 18:32:25 UTC 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Jobs are scheduled with something called PBS. Polymake fails to compile, which is bad news for me - although I haven't tried to install polymake on a fresh 2.8.4 install so it might be a more pervasive problem. One problem is that it looks like an older gcc, is this a problem(?): **************************************************** GCC Version gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/specs Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr -- with-local-prefix=/usr/local -- infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,c+ +,f77,objc,java,ada --disable -checking --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-libgcj --with-gxx-include-dir=/ usr/include/g++ --with-slibdir =/lib64 --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit x86_64-suse-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux) **************************************************** It would be very cool if I could use this machine for polytope/ algebraic geometry/groebner basis stuff.
