  1. Overview of Parix & Carmel Year 2004

  2. HPC during 2004

  3. TOP 500

  4. …and the last ones

  5. Trends for future Technion in 2004 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 year

  6. How do we compare • Performance of the 500st is 850 Gflops • Technion : 15 Gflops

  7. HPC at the Technion • 2003- Usage was 80-90% on parix Carmel and Or were available at IUCC free of charge • Jan 2004- Starting to charge Or/ carmel usage . Users stop to use IUCC computers. Parix goes down to 30-40% usage.

  8. HPC at the Technion- 2004 • Carmel was dismantled – Technion gets 32 processors • No maintenance funds, and only former Or users can run on carmel

  9. In 2004 • Increase in parix usage – back to former values –e.g.users complains it is full. • We got maintenance funds for Carmel after an hardware problem • Carmel is 60-70% full • New departements have started to use parix

  10. Parix Usage in 2003

  11. Parix usage 2004

  12. Parix usage 2004- total

  13. Monthly usage

  14. CPU usage by groups

  15. Parix usage by departments

  16. Carmel usage since Aug.2004

  17. What happens in 2005 • HPCU( YALAD) might close down • Technion gets 1/4 of OR

  18. What can we do • Request to put together Carmel and Parix (54 processors overall) or Carmel+Parix+Or • Examine newer architectures (benchmarks)
