The CAG installed a new Cluster System named PEAC. The System features 16 nodes (HP DL165G5) equipped with AMD CPUs and a proprietary HyperTransport attached network. The network is based on CAG's own network research and achieves a half round trip latency of 1.2us between two nodes. The cluster will be used to develop, test and evaluate the software environment for the EXTOLL network. More information on the EXTOLL web page.
