CENTRAL COMPUTING FACILITY

中央计算设施继续满足并随着 在保持最大可用性的同时满足资源需求 系统的可靠性。精选软件和硬件升级 为资源人员和外部用户提供了更广泛的 计算能力的频谱。以补充增加的 计算能力我们的共享磁盘存储区域已得到增强 总共8 GB，分布在整个群集中。剩下的 健康科学H翼网络的效率限制 已通过更换现有的薄网电缆而消除 利用更有效的双绞线布线和相关的集线器， 从而立即提高了性能。这是第一步 在我们计划的从10base T到100base T网络的过渡中。我们的 主文件服务器已升级为双CPU单元，可以轻松 满足匿名ftp网站对它的要求。 服务，以及我们的邮件路由和存储需求。此外，它还拥有 成为我们集团中速度最快、最可靠的平台之一 工作站，并将满足长期需求或直至超 计算架构变得更具成本效益。

The Central Computing Facility continues to meet and grow with the needs of the Resource while maintaining maximum availability and reliability of the systems. Selected software and hardware upgrades have provided both Resource personnel and outside users with a broader spectrum of computing capabilities. To complement the increase in computational power our shared disk storage areas have been augmented by a total of 8GB distributed throughout the cluster. The remaining limitations to the efficiency of the Health Sciences H-Wing network have been eliminated by replacement of the existing thin-net cables with the more effective twisted-pair wiring and the associated hubs, resulting in immediate performance improvements. This is a first step in our planned transition from 10baseT to 100baseT networks. Our primary file server has been upgraded to a dual cpu unit which easily meets the demands imposed on it from the web site, the anonymous ftp services, and our mail routing and storage needs. In addition, it has become one of the fastest and most reliable platforms in our group of workstations and will suffice for the long term or until the Ultra computing architecture becomes more cost-effective.
