RCF COMPUTE ENGINE

GENERAL INFORMATION

In addition to a Beowulf-style Linux cluster, rcfcluster1, the RCF also has a high-powered compute engine called crick. Crick is essentially a very large computer that has much more "horsepower" that a standard desktop system.

Mayo investigators can use this compute engine to perform large, processor-intensive computations without taxing the resources in their own workstations.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Red Hat Linux 9
• 4 x 2.5 GHz Xeon CPUs
• 4 GB memory
• Approximately 1 Terabyte local disk space
