Hey guys,
Einstein was mentioned by Heise News (one of the most popular German tech news pages, kinda like slashdot except the news tend to be longer and most items are written by professionals rather than volunteers) with the new Atlas cluster.
There it is, only in German I'm afraid. But great publicity, maybe we'll get some new crunchers.

Here are some other details about Atlas on the webpage of AEI/MPG: ATLAS-Supercomputer für die Gravitationswellenforschung

Hey, I can read German! :-)
Seriously it's easy to see there's some mean hardware there. One of my friend's computers, whom I've just enrolled for E@H, is wingman to one of the 2x4 = 8 core Xeon brutes.
That's what we need - lots of nodes chasing Gravitationswellen's ..... :-)
Cheers, Mike.

Cannot find it on the top500 list. According to my limited knowledge of German it should be number 4 in Germany and number 34 overall. But that place is occupied by another system (US Army Research Laboratory).

The ATLAS cluster is brand new, provided they made the submission dadline they will be listed in the next edition of the TOP 500 List in June.

The TOP500 list was released in November.
Next update will be in June.

OK. Just for curiosity; has anybody of you ever heard of the APE computer? It is a cluster built around a processor designed by the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare for research in quantum field theory and then produced by a commercial firm. They claim it is one of the fastest machines overall but it does not appear in the top500 list so I don't know if the claim is real or not.

BTW, ATLAS has only four cores per node. At the end that gives us more FLOPs per Euro and more network bandwidth per core. And having worked in the rooms of Merlin and Morgane what I especially like about ATLAS is that (apart from the Woven Systems core switch) it's surprisingly silent.

And nice and dry one hopes too ...... how high is the raised floor? Surely it'd be worthwhile to have an emergency bilge pump ..... :-)

In order to achieve even better cost-reduction, they took a few young Shadoks for a non-payed long term internship...
as the Shadok say: "Better to pump even if nothing happens than to risk something worse happening by not pumping"...
Sorry if only french people and few over 40 years old British folks will get this one. :D

God created a few good looking guys.. and for the rest he put hairs on top..
Well, they'd have a hard job

Well, they'd have a hard job if all the nerds drool on the floor ;-) which would be completely understandable given the kind of hardware used.
