Description

The RRZE’s "Woody" is the preferred cluster for serial/single-node throughput jobs.

The cluster has changed significantly over time. You can find more about the history in the section about history.  The current hardware configuration looks like this:
  • 70 compute nodes (w11xx nodes) with Xeon E3-1240 v3 CPUs („Haswell“, 4 cores, HT disabled, 3,4 GHz base frequency), 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD – from 09/2013
  • 64 compute nodes (w12xx/w13xx nodes) with Xeon E3-1240 v5 CPUs („Skylake“, 4 cores, HT disabled, 3,5 GHz base frequency), 32 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD – from 04/2016 and 01/2017
  • 112 compute nodes (w14xx/w15xx nodes) with Xeon E3-1240 v6 CPUs („Kaby Lake“, 4 cores, HT disabled, 3,7 GHz base frequency), 32 GB RAM, 960 GB SDD – from Q3/2019
