<strong>HP</strong> 8-server Workgroup System Rack<br />
Abaqus/St<strong>and</strong>ard (Structural Analysis)<br />
Server Options:<br />
4-8 ProLiant DL160 (Xeon) or DL165 (Opteron) server nodes, each us<strong>in</strong>g<br />
2 processors<br />
8-12 cores per compute node<br />
Four 72GB SAS drives per compute node<br />
Optional blade workstation with <strong>HP</strong> RGS for pre/post process<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Optional head node with extra memory for very large jobs<br />
Total Memory for Cluster:<br />
Nonl<strong>in</strong>ear dynamics jobs – multiple compute node jobs:<br />
2GB/core suitable for runn<strong>in</strong>g jobs:<br />
Less than 2.5MDOF on 2 nodes<br />
2.5MDOF to 5MDOF on 4 nodes<br />
Greater than 5MDOF on 8 nodes<br />
4GB/core for above jobs, if runn<strong>in</strong>g on fewer nodes<br />
L<strong>in</strong>ear dynamics jobs - s<strong>in</strong>gle compute node jobs: 4GB/core<br />
Optional head node or blade workstation: up to 4GB/core<br />
Cluster Interconnect: Integrated Gigabit Ethernet or Inf<strong>in</strong>iB<strong>and</strong><br />
