On the TeraGrid, what is Lincoln?
On the TeraGrid, Lincoln
(login-lincoln.ncsa.teragrid.org) is the Intel 64 Tesla
Linux cluster at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications
(NCSA). Lincoln consists of 192 Dell PowerEdge 1950 dual-socket nodes,
each with quad-core Intel Harpertown 2.33GHz processors and 16GB of
memory. Lincoln also includes 96 NVIDIA Tesla S1070 accelerator units,
each providing 345.6 gigaflops of double-precision performance and
16GB of memory.
Lincoln has a peak performance of 47.5 teraflops, and is intended for applications that can make use of the heterogeneous processors (CPU and GPU) that comprise the system.
For more, see the Lincoln user documentation.
For further information about compute and visualization resources on the TeraGrid, see the Resource Catalog in the TeraGrid User Support documentation.
