>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(?):

It would be very cool if I could use this machine for polytope/
algebraic geometry/groebner basis stuff.  At the moment I am using it
for pretty routine bioinformatics stuff that I can do without sage if
necessary.
