Damascus is the working name for the Earlham Computer Science Department's upcoming cluster computer.

At the moment Damascus exists only as a $40,000 grant and a growing list of tentative specifications:

Tentative Specifications

Budget

  • $35,000 (leaving $5,000 for discretionary spending)

Nodes

  • Intel Nehalem processors
  • 4 core processors minimum
    • Six cores still expensive
  • 1.5GB RAM per core

Specialty Nodes

  • Two nodes should support CUDA GPGPU

Network

  • One of the following (in order of cost):
    • Gigabit Ethernet fabric with switch
    • 10 Gigabit Ethernet fabric
    • Infiniband
