For practical investigations of the numerical methods developed at the
INS and the SFB611, the institute maintains a grid consisting of three dedicated cluster
computers, Himalaya, Eifel II and Siebengebirge. These systems have
special high-performance networking hardware, allowing fast
communication between the compute nodes separated from the service
ethernet and without the TCP/IP protocol overhead. Himalaya performes
1269 GFlop/s in the Linpack benchmark test and thus was ranked 428 on
the June
2005 Top500 list (press
release, certificate).
