Tango starts to arrive
The new VPAC cluster, Tango, an AMD Opteron cluster purchased from Xenon Systems and using InfiniBand as its interconnect has started to arrive from the vendor.
This is the first of the 3 racks for the new cluster to arrive, ready for the components of the cluster to be inserted.
Here you can see the management node and the first two compute nodes to arrive as VPAC start to configure them for use.
This is the InfiniBand switch that will be the heart of the cluster for parallel programs using MPI.
Here is the systems managers office, full of nodes waiting to be put into the above rack!
