Howdy All,
RE: AEI eScience group, for the German Grid (D-Grid)
Is this the ATLAS Cluster ?
Pretty impressive. I think Bikeman or someone
said it runs at 30 teraflops.
Wish my home computer could do that !
( maybe some day )__ Intel Core 200 chip or something.

Yup, certainly is. In fact you've prompted me to run a Google or three and have discovered a playful side to the boss! :-)
Also a cool animation ( Quicktime ) too.
Cheers, Mike.

I think the ATLAS cluster is the best thing in Hannover, after the Alte Rathaus beer, which I tasted after visiting CEBIT while working for Bull. Prosit, Bruce!

Yup, it's about 30 TFlops fast (but I don't think it has yet contributed to E@H).
Watch out for Intel Xeon 3220 quad-cores @2,4GHz under Debian Linux.
Debian press release.

From the looks of This Picture it's a lot rougher treatment to be stuffed in your locker at the Max Planck Institute than I remember at primary school. ;)

CeBit 2008? You should have taken the ATALS cluster tour done by Rittal then.
Bikeman is right, ATLAS is still in commissioning and has not yet contributed to Einstein@home (though it helped in internal tests).
The eScience Group is running Einstein@home tasks in "ordinary" jobs on various Grid clusters. ATLAS isn't one of them, but other supercomputers at AEI (Potsdam) are.

Well no, that was years ago. I am retired now and spend my time on a Linux box. Incidentally, I was trying to understand the SMART messages in the /var/log/messages file of my SuSE Linux and ended via smartmontools to meet a developer called Bruce Allen. Chapeau!

Thank You for that Info !
I have been looking at top500 Supercomputers
ATLAS is listed as the 58th most powerful in the world !
ATLAS no 58
ATLAS uses 201.00 Kilowatts of power for the entire system.
Also listed with the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft are –
No. 19 VIP Power 575, p6 4.7 GHz, Infiniband in Garching Germany.
VIP uses 1.073 Megawatts of power. And,
No. 52 GENIUS IBM Blue Gene/P Solution in Garching Germany.
GENIUS uses 94.5 Kilowatts of power.
Maybe the Supercomputers in Garching are not used by the Einstein at home team.
I hope someone will answer that question.

I don't know precisely which

I don't know precisely which machines they are using, but I think at least the ones connected in the AstroGrid-D project.
They don't compile their own applications but use the standard Linux Apps from Einstein@home, thus the don't run on BlueGene machines.

Contact AKOS ASAP ! Lets get him working on an optimized BlueGene App !
