Scientific Computing Services has completed the initial tuning of the PPA cluster hardware for parallel computation. Test runs included 256-core and 1024-core jobs using OpenMPI on the 40Gb/sec Infiniband network. All 2900 compute cores will be made available to the general queues in addition to a high priority MPI queue. This tuning has improved the overall performance of the cluster for scientific computing and research.
