Dear all, I apologise for the fact that it is not a Gromacs related question in a direct sense. We are planning to build a small scale cluster (upto 32 nodes for the time being), which can take care of both serial and parallel codes. Gromacs and Amber are the major programs that will be run for parallel computing.
We have come across the recent product NVIDIA® Tesla™ Personal Supercomputer: http://www.nvidia.com/object/personal_supercomputing.html and we request expert opinion regarding this system for being suitable to run Gromacs on it. While it looks surprisingly efficient with "the revolutionary NVIDIA® CUDA™ parallel computing architecture and powered by up to 960 parallel processing cores" in a single workstation, I would like to know how efficient it would be in terms of heat management and scaling. Will it be more cost effective as compared to a simple Beowulf cluster built out of individual Intel Quad Core processors connected through Gigabit switch? If any of you have any experience and opinion regarding such systems, please share with me. It will be immensely helpful for us to make the decision. Thanks and regards, Suman Chakrabarty. _______________________________________________ gmx-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!
