Thank you for the info! I think two or three projects depend on haswell nodes, so it would be nice to have additional "Things" nodes, at least two. (one for regular sharing and another one for time-sharing; isolated performance test or OS devel) If we can add more memory to the node, we can accommodate one more project. I was thinking to request a 4-way node but E7 SKUs may not be available yet or very expensive, so I'll postpone it. - kaz On 03/30/2015 06:54 PM, Allen, Benjamin S. wrote:
We can keep the HD installed, however I'd highly suggest you purchase a dedicated node, since LCF will be using these nodes for Lustre and DDN IME testing for the next few months. These projects are high priority.
Cost for one of the "Thing" Haswell-EP nodes is $7,025.225 as of today.

Ben,
Thank you for letting me playing with the node! I'll unplug the node on this Fri.
The machine helped my work a lot! One paper was accepted, which I haven't reported to JLSE yet. I have done a couple of other works, including a 4.0 Linux kernel bug fix.
Are you able to keep the hard drive I installed to the node? I'd like to reboot the node with my disk image later when the machine is not busy. I have a couple of unfinished works related to Haswell.

Hi Kaz,
I need the Haswell-EP node back by next Monday.
Thanks,
