NERSC's New System: Announcing Carver

Carver: IBM iDataPlex

NERSC's next medium-sized scientific computing system will be an IBM iDataPlex Linux cluster. The IBM system, selected in a competitive procurement, provides excellent performance, good energy efficiency per flop, and a familiar environment for mid-range parallel applications. It is intended to replace Bassi and Jacquard.

The system will be named after the American scientist George Washington Carver.


410 nodes with dual quad core Nehalems. IB interconnect. More than 10 TB of memory. 1.2 PB of disk. 34.2 TFlops peak. Link in title, as always.
