LONI User Support and Documentation for TeraGrid

Queen Bee, the core cluster of LONI, is a 50.7 TFlops Peak Performance 668 node Dell PowerEdge 1950 cluster running the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 operating system. Each node contains two Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.33GHz 64-bit processors and 8 GB of memory. The cluster is interconnected with 10 Gb/sec Infniband and has 192 TB of storage in a Lustre filesystem. Half of Queen Bee's computational cycles has been contributed to the TeraGrid community.

TeraGrid users should be aware that QueenBee is currently accessible only through a dedicated one-gigabit connection. Work is progressing on obtaining a dedicated ten-gigabit connection in Q3 2008.

TeraGrid users can access Queen Bee system using their TeraGrid certificates via gsissh by following the instructions on the New Users Guide. We have not set a default password for TeraGrid account. If a TeraGrid user desires a password, he/she can request one using the password reset form (the form requires a user to enter the email address which is associated with his/her TeraGrid account).

Consulation and administrative support for the LONI systems is provided by HPC @ LSU.


The TeraGrid project is funded by the National Science Foundation and includes 11 partners:

Indiana, LONI, NCAR, NCSA, JICS, ORNL, PSC, Purdue, SDSC, TACC and UC/ANL.
