 Since there is no budget we will be installing CentOS with Lava as the scheduler.  More details to come. Since there is no budget we will be installing CentOS with Lava as the scheduler.  More details to come.

-The closest two racks each hold 52 servers, each with dual AMD Opteron 248 model chips running at 2.4 Ghz with a memory foot print of 12 GB and holds a single 80 GB disk and a dual port NIC.  Each rack holds two HP Procurve 2848 gigabit switches. Memory wise each rack holds 52*12 = 624 GB. +The closest two racks each hold 52 servers, each with dual AMD Opteron 248 model chips running at 1.0 Ghz with a memory foot print of 12 GB and holds a single 80 GB disk and a dual port NIC.  Each rack holds two HP Procurve 2848 gigabit switches. Memory wise each rack holds 52*12 = 624 GB. 
  
 The two racks on the other side are similar as the front two, except the memory footprint of each server is 24 GB.  That means each rack holds 52*24 = 1,248 GB.  So all four Angstrom racks hold 208 servers that can access a total of 3,744 GB. Compare that to the Dell cluster, which in July 2009, holds a total of 320 GB. The Dell racks offer 288 job slots and the Angstrom could offer 416 job slots. The two racks on the other side are similar as the front two, except the memory footprint of each server is 24 GB.  That means each rack holds 52*24 = 1,248 GB.  So all four Angstrom racks hold 208 servers that can access a total of 3,744 GB.

 The rest are for now spare parts. And 5% of the servers have something broken. The rest are for now spare parts. And 5% of the servers have something broken.
