Hardware

A bioinformatics platform has been established to provide hardware architectures optimized for high-performance and high-throughput data-mining tools.

The new CASPUR research-oriented computational environment includes:

  1. 2448 cores of AMD Barcelona Opteron, 4.5 Terabytes of memory and DDR Infiniband will push the performance near 17 Tflops.
  2. 248 cores of AMD/Intel multi-core servers, 0.5 Terabytes of memory and DDR Infiniband for about 1 Tflops dedicated to databases and services for biomedical research.
