Subject: Katana cluster expansion From: glenn@bu.edu (Glenn Bresnahan) Date: Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 11:51 AM Dear Researcher, I am pleased to announce that we have completed an expansion of the Katana Linux cluster with the addition of 8 nodes (32 Opteron processors) in a second Blade Center chassis. The new nodes are identical to the older Katana nodes and no changes are required to use the new hardware. As previously announced we have begun phasing out the older X330 Pentium 3 Linux nodes. Several nodes have already been decommissioned and this process will continue as the hardware fails or space is needed for newer equipment. Sincerely, Glenn Bresnahan
