The ARRA funds were utilized to acquire a cluster of high performance computers, consisting of one Altus 2804 Server based on a Quad AMD Opteron 6174 12C with 4 2.2 GHz nodes of 12 cores each, resulting in 48 directly usable cores; as well as a Relion 1751 Server using an Intel Xeon X5677 consisting of 4 3.46 GHz cores supporting 8 threads. Both systems run the Unix flavor CentOS, which is designed for use without need of updates, which greatly enhances their reliability. The systems are used to operate our COSY INFINITY environment which supports MPI parallelization. The units arrived at MSU in September 2010, and were taken into operation shortly thereafter.
