ARGUS: Supercomputing in 1/10 Cubic Meter
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose ARGUS, a high density, low power supercomputer built from an IXIA network analyzer chassis and load modules. The prototype is a diskless MPP scalable to 128 processors in a single 9U chassis. The entire system has a footprint of 1/4 meter2 (2.5 ft2), a volume of 0.09 meter3 (3.3 ft3) and maximum power consumption of less than 2200 watts. We compare and contrast the characteristics of ARGUS against various machines including our 32-node Beowulf and LANL’s Green Destiny. Our results show that the computing density (GFLOP/ft3) of ARGUS is about 30 times higher than that of the Beowulf, about 3 times higher than that of Green Destiny while performance is comparable.

بهبود کیفیت پساب فاضلاب شهری با استفاده از بتن متخلخل برای آبیاری
In recent years, due to the overpopulation, serious water shortages, and need to consume more water, the use of wastewater treatment plant has attracted lots of attention. When the pollution load is not high, biofilm reactors are commonly used for the purpose. In this study, the porous concrete as a bed biofilm in reducing pollution load of wastewater was investigated. In order to evaluate poro...
متن کاملOsmosensitivity of Sucrose Uptake by Immature Pea Cotyledons Disappears during Development.
Sucrose uptake was studied in isolated, immature pea cotyledons (Pisum sativum L. cv Marzia) in relation to their developmental stage. During the developmental period examined the water content of the cotyledons decreased from approximately 80% "stage 1" to approximately 55% "stage 2". When assayed in an isotonic medium (400 osmoles per cubic meter) the influx capacity per gram fresh weight for...
