Computing Services Unit
Computing Services Unit
Introduction
This is the Unit that manages the computational resources at IFISC. It aims at providing the software and hardware configurations most suitable for IFISC scientists. The unit takes care of the following tasks:
- Maintenance of hardware (computational servers, desktops and laptops), of software (operating systems, compilers, libraries and other scientific software) and of IFISC web (public pages, databases and intranet).
- Design and assembly of upgrades for Nuredduna, the main computational cluster, as well as of new computational servers.
- Integration of the network of deskptops and laptops with the computational clusters.
- Advise on algorithms for scientific computation.

Intel Core2 is the main processor used in our Nuredduna cluster. Currently we have about 340 cores.
Every Nuredduna node consists of the motherboard, the processor, and the memory.
Inside Nuredduna: All components mounted in a slim box.
This is what a single Nuredduna node looks like.
This is what the cluster looks like
In the present configuration our storage server has 2.1 TB.
