From: steven fellini (sfellini@nih.gov)
Date: 23 Apr 2007


48 nodes have been added to the Biowulf Infiniband network,
bringing the total to 112.  Like the previous nodes, those
added are dual-processor 2.8 GHz Opterons with 4 GB memory
and a Qlogic/Pathscale InfiniPath network adapter.

The per-user limit on IB nodes has been raised from 16 to
24 nodes.

Applications currently available for Infiniband include
charmm, NAMD and GROMACS.  Please see the Applications
Pages (http://biowulf.nih.gov/apps) for these programs for
details on submitting to IB nodes.
