"Cyclone" is 64 CPU Parallel computing system running the Linux operating system
The CPUs connect through a high speed fabric to directly share and access a single memory space.
This architecture minimises memory latency to provide increased efficiency of parallel tasks.
"Cyclone" is an SGI Altix Bx2 with 64 Itanium 2 CPUs and 121 Gytes of memory.
It is connected to the HPC SAN storage infrastructure for both local scratch and shared home directories.
