Typhon: the CoMITAC cluster
CoMITAC built and operates a 720 core compute cluster within the School of Earth Sciences. This machine, named Typhon (after the mythical 'Father of Monsters'), comprises fifteen nodes each with four 12-core 2.3 GHz AMD Interlagos processors and 96 GB of memory. The machine is used for a variety of compute and data intensive tasks and is designed to be complementary to existing institutional and national scale resources such as Blue Crystal and HECToR. More information and documentation can be found online at: wikis.bris.ac.uk/display/Typhon/ (UoB login needed).
