Lawrencium is a 198-node (1584 processor cores) Linux cluster, equipped with a high performance, low latency Infiniband interconnect, that will be available to Berkeley Lab researchers needing access to scientific computational resources. The system has a theoretical peak performance rating of 16.8 teraflops and is anticipated to deliver over 10M processors hours to researchers in the coming year.

Berkeley Lab PIs interested in getting acccess to Lawrencium should complete the Requirements Survey and return it, along with a list of anticipated users to LRC@lbl.gov.

July 1, 2009 - We recently completed the installation of a new Data Direct Networks storage system that will be providing a 150TB Lustre parallel filesystem for scratch use on Lawrencium. We expect that this filesystem will be available for general use in later this month.

June 30, 2009 - Monthly usage reports are now available under the System Status section.
