[9fans] acl.lanl.gov gone forever?

[FODEMESI Gergely]

Hi,

I remember seeing a message about the 1024 node cluster
at acl.lanl.gov shutting down.
Is all information about it lost/deleted?
I am mainly interested in the power supply to the nodes,
the arrangement of the mainboards and the cooling.
If there is still any information could somebody point to it?

I plan to build a small 10-20 node network from cheap via epia
parts. I want to run it at home, so it should be rather silent.

thanks: gergo

um, no idea what you're talking about and I'm one of the guys running it.

You may mean Nirvana, the 16-node, 2048 CPU SGI Origin cluster.

you'll need a via-rhine driver, which we are working on.

If I am right, there was a note sent sometime back that the Plan9-related
website is not hosted by LANL anymore (which is now located at:
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/lanlp9/).

However, I tried to locate the s-expr port in the new location but couldnt
get it. Any problem?

Thanks

what Ron said, plus a mirror of www.acl.lanl.gov/plan9 here:

http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/lanlp9/

you can still see the configuration of the plan9 installation at the
ACL, but it wasn't 1024 nodes, not even close :)

Hi,

sorry I mixed up the plan9 network and the 1024 node cluster.
