Edda
Edda is an IBM OpenPOWER 720 cluster running SuSE SLES 9 Linux. VPAC estimate Edda's performance to be benchmarked at around 1 Teraflop.
Specifications
- 190 1.67GHz Power5 CPUs
- 47 4 way Compute nodes, 1 2 way compute node
- 24 nodes with 16G ram
- 24 nodes with 8G ram
- SLES 9 linux from SUSE
Compilers
Edda is a SUSE Linux operated system. Linux users will find the familar GCC C and Fortran compilers present. In addition to these compilers, IBM's own high performance C, C++ and Fortran compilers are also available, which the default MPI installation will use.
NB: Please be aware that both the IBM and GCC compilers will emit 32-bit code by default, rather than 64-bit. To emit 64-bit code please use -m64 for GCC and -q 64 for the IBM compilers.
Cores: 190
Nodes: 48
