The Zeus cluster from ACK Cyfronet AGH the most powerful one in Poland
In the recently published edition of the TOP500 list of the most powerful computers in the world, the Zeus cluster from ACC Cyfronet AGH was at the very high, 161st place in the world. This has been achieved thanks to the significant expansion of the previous cluster configuration; currently its computational power is as large as 55 TFlops, and storage - 640 TB. The Zeus cluster is using the Scientific Linux (SL) operating system and is assigned to the scientific computations. The Zeus cluster is a part of the all-Poland grid infrastructure being created in the framework of the PL-Grid project. Thanks to this project the purchase of the hardware (the computer and storage) for ACC Cyfronet AGH was financed. It should be emphasized, that the cluster is equipped in the modern and energy-efficient Intel Xeon (type L56XX) processors. The TOP 500 list - June 2010 edition ... The Zeus cluster technical parameters (in Polish) ...
