Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University computing
cluster belongs to the BEOWULF-type heterogeneous clusters. System
consists of 22 dual-processor nodes based on Intel® Pentium-III
933MHz and 1GHz,
Intel® Xeon 2.4GHz and
Intel® Xeon® EM64T 3.2ÃÃö.
Gigabit Ethernet is used for high speed and service interconnect.
Cluster works under Linux operating system on teh base of Fedora Core 1
òà 3 distributions with kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x. Each node of computing
cluster hasas much as possibly identical structure of directories and
contains the identical set of software installed into the same
directories. The main programming model is distributed memory but insde
each node shared memory is also supported.
