Full name: fire.bccs.uib.no

A summary is provided below. More details can be found on UiB's local pages.

Fire is a cluster with 32 nodes, each with 2 Pentium III (32-bit) processors and 2 GB memory and 18 GB internal disk. The nodes are interconnected with Fast Ethernet.

The machine is intended for sequential applications or for parallel applications that do not require fast communication between the processes. Fire is best suited for embarrassingly parallel applications (that consist of many independent tasks) and for MPI-parallel applications that require little communication between the processors. Fire is one of the older machines in Notur.

The home directories and directories for temporary storage on fire are mounted (and thus shared with users) from tre.

NOTE: fire was taken out of the Notur system on March 31, 2007. Questions regarding fire should be sent to support-uib@notur.no.
