The Netperf cluster consists of several systems interconnected using a management network, as well as individual back-to-back gigabit ethernet - links for a test network. The following systems are available as - testing resources on a check-out basis:
+ links for a test network. Please refer to the Test + Cluster One Reservations page on the &os; wiki for the + current allocations. -zoo.FreeBSD.org is the front-end build and management - system. This system was donated by Sentex Communications.
elephant is a dual-PIII 800MHz system with ATA disk - subsystem.
orangutan is a dual-Xeon 2GHz system equipped with an - Adaptec SCSI RAID array. This system was donated by IronPort - Systems.
tiger-1, tiger-2, and tiger-3 are a set of - interconnected, matching dual-Xeon 3GHz systems with ATA disk - subsystems. Each has four if_em network interfaces, and these are - interconnected so that various topologies can be created. - These systems were donated by FreeBSD Systems and the FreeBSD - Foundation.
cheetah is a dual core Opteron 270 system with two - 2GHz CPUs each with two cores using a Tyan K8S Pro (S2882) - motherboard. The machine identifies as a quad processor machine - in dmesg. The system has SATA disk, 2GB of RAM, 1GB for each - processor, and 5 ethernet ports. fxp0 is the management port - and em0, em1, bge0 and bge1 are gigE interfaces which will - eventually connect cheetah to elephant and orangutan. This system - was donated by George Neville-Neil.
hippo is a quad-processor Pentium III 500MHz system - with 50GB RAID array, donated by Sentex Communications.
camel is a dual core Pentium D 3.0Ghz SMP system - with four SATA disks and two hardware crypto devices, donated by - Sentex Communications.
interlope is a Celeron 2.5GHz system with two SATA - disks running SUN Solaris 10, donated by - Sentex Communications.
apc2, apc3, and apc4 are the remote power - consoles for the test network. These systems were donated by - Sentex Communications.
leopard1, leopard2, and leopard3 are - dual-core Intel systems hooked up to the 10gbps test cluster, - and use Chelsio and Myricom 10gbps cards. These systems were - donated by iXsystems.
hydra1 and hydra2 are 8-core Intel systems - hooked up to the 10gbps test cluster. These systems were donated - by Google and the FreeBSD Foundation.
The current serial port and network configuration of test systems, as - well as password information, can be found in /etc/motd on zoo. We - are currently interested in adding amd64 and em64t hardware to the - cluster.
-Pointers and documentation on Netperf Cluster procedures can be found on the Test Cluster One Pointers page on the FreeBSD wiki.
- - -A few hopefully up-to-date configuration notes that may be relevant - to users of the netperf cluster:
- -20070727 - The 10gbps testbed is now being configured, - thanks to donations from iXsystems, Chelsio, Myricom, Intel, Google, - Cisco, and the FreeBSD Foundation.
20061211 - The Netperf - Cluster Reservations page is now online on the wiki. Also, a - Netperf - Cluster Pointers wiki page has been set up documenting procedures - for the Netperf cluster.
