Formosa II HPC Cluster

Formosa II HPC Cluster is a 64bits high-performance Beowulf cluster located within Southern Business Unit of the National Center of High-Performance Computing (NCHC). 'SIRAYA' is the nickname for Formosa II cluster, and it means that Siraya were an indigeneous people of Taiwan. They lived in the southwest part (Tainan) of the island. The Siraya cluster was designed and constructed by the 'HPC Cluster Group' at NCHC for computational science applications. It consists of 80 dual AMD Opteron DualCore PCs (i.e. 320 2.2GHz CPU-Cores) connected on a private subnet with 1000 Mbits/s Gigabit Ethernet. An additional 2 nodes are used as front ends to interface with cluster, to host the user file systems.
