-  * At full load 5,900 Watts and 20,131 BTUs/hour +==== GPU Specs ====
  
-  * 2% more expansive than "benchmark option" (as described above with Upgrades), else identical 
-    * But a new rack (advantageous for data center) 
-    * With lifetime technical support 
-    * solid state drives on compute nodes 
-    * 12 TB local storage 
  
-Then+**[[cluster:110|Moved to separate page]]**
  
-  * 36 port FDR switch replace with 8 port QDR switch for savings (40 vs 56 Gbps) 
-    * and all server adapter cards to QDR (with one hook up to existing Voltaire switch) 
-  * Expand memory footprint 
-    * Go to 124 GB memory/noe to beef up the CPU HPC side of things 
-    * 16 cpu cores/nodes minus 4 cpu/gpu cores/node = 12 cpu cores using 104gb which is about 8 GB/cpu core 
-  * Online testing available (K20, do this) 
-    * then decide on PGI compiler at purchase time 
-    * maybe all Lapack libraries too 
-  * Make the head node a compute node (in/for the future and beef it up too, 256 GB ram?) 
-  * Remove the 6x2TB disk space and add an entry level Infiniband/Lustre solution 
-    * 2U, 8 drives (SAS/SATA/SSD) up to 32 TB - get 10K drives? 
-  * Spare parts 
-    * 8 port switch, HCAs and cables, drives ... 
-    * or get 5 years total warranty
