====== SERVER DESCRIPTION  aries.ascc.neu.edu==========
 
  Rack Server: DELL PowerEdge R815
 
  Processors:
  4 x AMD Opteron 6174, 2.2GHz, 12 Cores,
  Cache (6M L2/12M L3)
  share memory bandwith 1333 Mhz
  We have a total of 48 cores in one mother board.
 
 
  Memory:
  256GB Memory (32x8GB), 1333 MHz (share memory bandwith)
  We will have a total of 32 memory chips (8 G each)  inside the rack server.
  The total share memory is therefore 256 GB.
 
  Operating System:
  Red Hat Linux which can support MATLAB.
 
  Primary Controller (for internal disks):
  PERC H700 Integrated RAID Controller, (1GB cache)
 
  Hard Drives (internal disks):
  6X146GB 15K RPM
  Hotplug Hard Drive.
  These disks contain the scratch directory with a capacity of about 860 GB needed during computations
 
  Additional Controller (for external disks):
  PERC H800 RAID Adapter (1GB cache)
 
  External Storage Unit:
  PowerVault MD1200 to be inserted in the rack.
 
  Hard Drives (external disks):
  6 X 1TB 7.2 K RPM
  These disks contain home directories and extra scratch.
 
  We have added a GPU unit in the rack: NVIDIA Tesla S1070 (This unit can be controlled
  and programmed with MATLAB. An important application is the Fast Fourier Transform).
