Full name: magnum.uio.no

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

Magnum is a shared-memory machine with 64 Itanium2 (64-bit) processors. The machine is intended for large parallel OpenMP or MPI applications that require tight coupling (fast communication) between the processes.

Typical usage of this resource is for jobs that require 4-16 CPUs. Single CPU large memory jobs (with memory needs larger than 4 GB) and I/O-intensive jobs also run well on this machine.

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