Catalyst has 281TB of total SSD storage and is a giant computing cluster broken into 324 computing units, called “nodes” by LLNL. Each computing unit has two 12-core Xeon E5-2695v2 processors, totaling 7,776 CPU cores for the supercomputer. Each node has 128GB of DRAM, while 304 nodes have 800GB of solid-state drive storage. Additionally, 12 nodes have 3.2TB of solid-state drive storage for use across computing units.
So that's 324 nodes x 128GB/node = 41,472GB of DRAM = 40.5TB of DRAM. :cool: Also, there's 8 (= 324 - 304 - 12) nodes that are unaccounted for. Those must be NSA nodes. :suss:

Dark Computing.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Not quite - we can prove the existence of the NSA! :laugh:

Looking at the huge machine reminds me of the first computer run with vacuum tubes and now we have move power in a laptop then they had.

We probably have more computing power in a cell phone or even a scientific calculator....

True they were very crude but it was a start! The Smithsonian has a part of a couple of the early units and they are huge, can't even imagine what it would have been like to work on one!

And I am thankful for this start... Those guys were/are geniuses..
