ICSE Capabilities - Institute for Clean and Secure Energy

ICSE Simulation Capabilities

ICSE has 3D transient and steady-state CFD codes.

Computing facilities

As team members of the Center for the Simulation of Accidental Fires and Explosions (C-SAFE), we have access to two parallel machines housed in the SCI Institute at the University of Utah.

Inferno, a 256 processor Linux cluster with 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 processors, is used to run small to medium scale simulations
Muse, a 64 processor SGI Origin 3000 with 600 Mhz R14k processors, is used for visualization of the simulation results
Data from simulations is stored on a Linux fileserver, Crsimfs, a dual Xeon 2.4GHz machine with 1GB of RAM. It serves about 1.9TB of usable space in a hardware RAID-5 array using a total of 12 200GB drives.

C-SAFE is part of the Department of Energy's Advanced Scientific Computing (ASC) initiative, which gives team members access to massively parallel machines located at various national laboratories. Currently we are utilizing machines at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).

Frost (LLNL), a 68-node (16 processors/node) IBM RS/6000 SP machine, is used for large scale simulations of up to 500 processors.
ALC (LLNL), the ASC Linux Cluster with 924 compute nodes (2-Pentium 4 Prestonia processors/node), is used for large scale simulations of up to 900 processors. Theoretical peak performance is 9.2 Teraflops.
QSC (LANL) consists of 256 HP/Compaq Alphaserver ES45 nodes (4 processors/node). Peak speed is 2.56 Teraflops. QSC is used for large scale simulations.
