With a 150 node high performance computing cluster we're able to complete larger scale research projects and advanced computation problems.
Each cluster node has 24 GB memory, 3 TB hard disk space and 2 hexa-core CPUs (in total, 3600 Cores, 3.6 Terabyte memory, 450 Terabyte HDD). By deploying a 150 node Dell PowerEdge R610 rack server cluster with Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series and Dell PowerConnect 6248 Ethernet switches housed within PowerEdge Rack 4210 server enclosures, POSTECH created a flexible and powerful HPC solution that can scale to meet the department’s growing research needs.
Professor Yu comments, “Working on data-intensive research projects such as developing intelligent search engines is now possible for our students and faculty.”
POSTECH data mining lab (http://dm.postech.ac.kr) members, Jaeyong Lee and Ilhwan Ko, won the 2nd and 3rd places respectively in the 2010 UCSD Data Mining Competition (http://mill.ucsd.edu). They are awarded $750 and $500 (USD) respectively. The competition received large attendance from world universities. Students from reputable universities such as MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, IIT Bom bay, Nanjing and HKUST attended the competition, and POSTECH is named twice on the top three!
