I recently attended the Murdoch University Open Day. They had a tour of their new Supercomputer, appropriately named 'Epic'. It has 9,600 cores (2.8 GHz each) Intel Westmere Processors (Hex Core), 500 TB of fast, QDR Infiniband connected Lustre disc over 34 raid enclosures, 24GB per node (with a smattering of 48 GB) for just under 20 TB of RAM. It's Compute nodes are double density blades in HP C7000 chassis, and it has a 10GBit/s link to iVEC network. It runs Linux (Centos 5.5). IT is used for Galaxy Simulation, Molecular Dynamics, Quantum Chemistry, Health Sciences, Supersonic Car research (really!) and many other things. To see it's construction, visit: http://youtu.be/7O8_vaq5aSI
