How and when machine obtained:

  • Mudhead consists of 7 UP2000 dual Alphas 833HMz donated to us by Fugro FSI.

History prior to arrival at UCC:

  • Mudhead was an 8 machine (16 CPU) cluster doing seismic anaylsis for Fugro FSI. The last dual alpha was used to replace Morwong

UCC history of machine:

  • None as yet, we're still setting it up.

Current machine tasks:

  • None Yet

Current software configuration:

  • Debian GNU/Linux

Current hardware configuration:

  • 2x 833MHz Alpha EV68 processors with 4MB cache

Future plans for machine:

  • Finish putting together a cluster of sorts

Special notes:

  • The onboard Adaptec SCSI card in the UP2000 does not play nicely with Tru64 and needs to be disabled.

Thanks:

  • Fugro Seismic Imaging for their donation of the new machine, and
  • PXY and TRS for getting the new machine working.
