Using the SUN M9000 SMP

This guide explains how to use the M9000 massive multi-core shared memory super computer.

Hardware

M9000
CPU 64× SPARC64 VII quad-core
CPU clock 2.88 GHz
CPU cores 256 (512 threads available)
Memory 2 048 GB (2 TB)
Peak performance 2 Tflops
Linpack peformance 1.032 Tflops
Interconnect Jupiter
O.S. Solaris 10
Storage 5.3 TB XFS
Incept date September 2009

Operating System

The operating system on the M9000 is Oracle (né Sun) Solaris version 10:

m9000:~$ uname -a
SunOS m9000 5.10 Generic_139555-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise
SunOS is the actual name of the operating system; version 5 was named “Solaris” and the .10 in 5.10 refers to the version of Solaris.

File Systems

Partition File System Mount point Size Usage
Scratch XFS /scratch/* 5.3 TB Scratch (local) storage
/scratch/work/ 5.3 TB Local scratch work directory
Gridware NFS /opt/gridware 1.6 TB Shared software: compilers, tools, libraries and applications
Home NFS /export/home 1.8 TB Users' home directories from Sun cluster storage

The M9000 does not mount the Lustre SCRATCH* file systems. If you need fast local storage for your job, request a sub-directory be created for you on /scratch/work/ by emailing helpdesk.

Compilers

Language GCC Sun Studio
C gcc cc
Fortran gfortran f90 / f95
C++ g++ CC
m9000:~$ f90 -V
f90: Sun Fortran 95 8.3 SunOS_sparc Patch 127000-07 2008/10/21
Usage: f90 [ options ] files.  Use 'f90 -flags' for details
