Comparing Clusters and Supercomputers for Lattice QCD
arXiv:hep-lat/0011071 · doi:10.1016/S0920-5632(01)01015-5
Abstract
Since the development of the Beowulf project to build a parallel computer from commodity PC components, there have been many such clusters built. The MILC QCD code has been run on a variety of clusters and supercomputers. Key design features are identified, and the cost effectiveness of clusters and supercomputers are compared.
