Stanford University is the AHPCRC Consortium lead organization and academic partner, with overall responsibility for the AHPCRC program. Well known for its research in engineering, interdisciplinary computational sciences, algorithms, and software development, Stanford has 1,771 tenure-line faculty, senior fellows, and center fellows, including 18 Nobel Laureates, 23 MacArthur Fellows, and 21 recipients of the National Medal of Science. All Stanford principal investigators for the AHPCRC Consortium are affiliated with Stanford’s Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME), a program that reflects the importance of computational mathematics in virtually every science and engineering discipline. ICME capitalizes on Stanford’s outstanding strengths in engineering applications and physical, biological, and earth sciences to guide the development of modern research and educational enterprise in computational mathematics. Its central research mission is to develop sophisticated algorithmic and mathematical tools that can advance many different applied disciplines. The Stanford AHPCRC Cluster has 216 compute nodes and 7 support nodes. Each compute node has a total of 16GB of memory and consists of two quad-core Intel Xeon E5345 processors running at 2.33 GHz inside a DELL Poweredge 1950. The system has a high-speed DDR Infiniband interconnect from Cisco. The attached lustre file system provides 100 TB of high-speed storage via Data Direct Networks S2A 9550 controllers and SAF4248 disk arrays. Recently, the system has been upgraded with 4 Nvidia Tesla S1070 high performance computing systems. Charbel Farhat, Stanford University lead for AHPCRC |
