Hello AMBER Devs & Users:
I am speccing out a new compute lab for MSc students to use as a
sandbox-type facility to learn simulations. Of course I will use it myself
as my personal minicluster when the students are not around.
Does anyone want to comment on this rough spec which I have drawn up? Can
anyone post the documentation for any similar setup of their own?
***********
8 workstation machines, each as:
* 1 Tesla C2075 or similar GPU (worth bothering with for pmemd?)*
16 cores (Intel are promising a die shrink this summer: should I wait for
this next gen, 'Haswell'?)
4 GB ram
200 GB HDD for OS, scratch & swap (maybe use a solid-state drive?)
1 monitor, 24" or so. Pref low power use for these (twisted nematic,
but without IPS, such as Dell P2412-H).
************
1 x GB ethernet switch
1 x 10TB NAS-NFS for home directories
1 x 20TB NAS-NFS to backup the first one
