== Nextlink Limulus Specifications == The [http://www.senecadata.com/Partner/Solutions/HPC/Nexlink-Limulus.aspx Nextlink Limulus] cluster is a commercial version of the the Limulus Project Design. The base system has 16 cores (one master node, three worker nodes each with a quad-core Intel i5 processor), 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, an internal Gigabit Ethernet switching, a single 850W power supply, front panel video/usb/power light and switch, and automatic/smart power control for the worker nodes. Recent tests of the Nextlink Limulus delivered a remarkable 200 GFLOPS running the Top500 HPL benchmark (62.5% of peak, [wiki:i5-2400S-Raw-HPL Raw HPL Results], these are double precision CPU GFLOPS). The base system cost will be somewhere around $25/GFLOP. == Detailed Specifications == '''Host Node (1)''' * Intel i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz (four cores) * 4GB RAM PC3 12800 * On-board Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet * Additional Intel Gigabit LAN NIC * Crucial RealSSD C300 256GB * 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 * 2 x PCI Express x1 * 1 x PCI Slots * External Ports * 1 x DVI * 1 x HDMI * 6 x USB 2.0 * 2 x USB 3.0 * 1 x eSATA 3Gb/s * 1 x Optical S/PDIF Out * 5 Audio Ports '''Compute Nodes (3)''' * Intel i5-2400S CPU @ 2.50GHz (four cores) * 4GB RAM PC3 12800 * On-board Intel Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet * External Video, USB, PWR LED, PWR Switch '''Switching''' * HP 1410-8G Switch * All cables Included '''Power''' * Single 850W 110-120V Power Supply * Compute Nodes power internally controlled by Host Node '''Software:''' * [wiki:LimulusSoftware Limulus Software] '''Performance:''' * 200.3 GFLOPS ([wiki:i5-2400S-Raw-HPL Raw HPL Results])
