Resource centre Szeged SC
Szeged supercomputer is a fat-node HP cluster which is a very sophisticated type of blade technology CP4000BL. It is content the latest AMD Opteron 6174 type processors with 12-core Magny-Cours. Total number of cores is 2112. It is using Infiniband network for the internal high-performance communication. The machine content 5.6 TByte memory and comes with a quarter-sized Pbyte storage subsystems and high-end visualization as well. The machine computing power is greater than the value of 14 Tflops, and it provides extremely high energy-efficiency. This unique super computer run it very effectively in the mixed parallel programming paradigms and each node is a powerful 48 cores SMP computer.
Parallel programming models
Supported parallel programming paradigms are MPI, OpenMP and Hybrid.
Development software
Infrastructural services
User administration, authentication, authorization, security
Users can access it with SSH public key authentication
Workflow and batch management
Sun Grid Engine 6.2u5 local resource manager
Distributed filesystem and data management
There are two filesystems available to users (/home, /scratch) where /scratch is for temporary files created during job execution and it is shared beetween the worker nodes.
