Keeneland Full Scale (KFS) System

In October of 2012, the Keeneland Full Scale (KFS) system was accepted by the NSF and went into production. KFS is a 264-node cluster based on HP SL250 servers. Each node has 32 GB of host memory, two Intel Sandy Bridge CPU’s, three NVIDIA M2090 GPUs, and a Mellanox FDR InfiniBand interconnect. The total peak double precision performance is ~615 TF. Each node has temporary storage (job duration), but Keeneland shares disk storage with the National Institute for Computational Science (NICS), so their storage policies are used.
