The Center for Plant Systems Biology is supporting a large Bioinformatics research group. The computing power needed to analyze the huge amount of genomic data is provided by a 14-compute nodes, 482-compute cores Linux cluster with a total of 3300 GB memory. 
Biocomputing Linux cluster
- Dell servers and blades
- one dedicated master node, two submit nodes
- 14 compute nodes, 482 compute cores
- around 7 GB memory per compute core
- Linux RH5 and Sun Gridware 6.2
- Linux Redhat/Centeos with the Sun Gridware 6.2 job scheduler
- Tiered Big Data storage on scale-out platforms, NGS scratch and NGS source data
