The hardware of the compute cluster used in this grant consists of 20 Sun Microsystem Ultra Enterprise 450's each with 4 250MHz Ultra-II processors. Eight nodes of the cluster, nsfri1-8, have 1GB of memory 4-way interleaved. The other 12 nodes have 512MB of memory 4-way interleaved. Each of the 20 nodes have a 4GB system disk. 12 of the nodes, nsfri1-12, also have an 18GB temporary data storage disk available as /m/nsfri{1-12} on the cluster.

Their primary network interface is fast ethernet, which are connected to a Cisco 2926 Switch. They also have a private high-speed, low-latency network called Myrinet from Myricom.
