CSC Galaxy Cluster

The CSC cluster, named Galaxy, consists of 256 Intel P3 and P4 processors running at speeds up to 2.4 GHz. Arranged in dual processor nodes, most have 1 Gbyte of memory per node. A RAID storage facility with 1.4 terabytes of disk is attached to this machine. Parallel computations are performed using the message passing interface, MPI (http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi) and through threads using Open MP.

The Galaxy computer provides computing cycles to CSC affiliates and projects. Convenient and assured access to local parallel computing is an essential requirement for the development of parallel simulation codes, and it is thus a key component of the CSC strategy to make state-of-the-art computing technology available to benefit BNL scientific programs.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
