Dawning4000A high performance computer

Abstract

Dawning4000A is an AMD Opteron-based Linux Cluster with 11.2Tflops peak performance and 8.06Tflops Linpack performance. It was developed for the Shanghai Supercomputer Center (SSC) as one of the computing power stations of the China National Grid (CNGrid) project. The Massively Cluster Computer (MCC) architecture is proposed to put added-value on the industry standard system. Several grid-enabling components are developed to support the running environment of the CNGrid. It is an achievement for a high performance computer with the low-cost approach.
