The peak performance is 2.4 Tflop. The cluster is configured with two 16 core nodes with 128 GB of memory each, two 16 core/64 GB, eighteen 8 core/32 GB, and eight 8 core/16 GB. All processors are quad core AMD 2.2 GHz Opterons. The cluster was built by Dell. It was purchased using funds provided by a DoD Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) grant. When the cluster was installed in March 2009, it became the most powerful supercomputer on UD Campus.

Kolos
Wlodzimierz Kolos
The cluster was named "kolos" in memory of Wlodzimierz Kolos (1928-1996), a distinguished theoretical molecular physicist. Kolos was one of the pioneers of using computers for accurate calculations on small molecules, in particular the hydrogen molecule. His results for the dissociation energy of this molecule demonstrated for the first time that a computational approach can be more accurate than experiments, as acknowledged by Gerhard Herzberg in his Nobel lecture.

lowdin

- number of nodes: 33
- number of processing cores: 66
- total memory 232 GBytes
- operating system: Linux

This cluster is available to all members of DPA. It was purchased from a UNIDEL grant and is named after Per-Olov Lowdin (1916-2000), a distinguished theoretical physicist and chemist.
