       - 8 cores total
       - 128K L1 cache per core
       - 1MB L2 cache per core
   16 1 GB DDR400 DIMMS with ECC
       - 16 GB total
       - 4 GB attached to each processor (NUMA)
   1 Broadcom Ethernet Controller
       - BCM5704 (appears docs only avail. under NDA)
       - 10/100/1000BASE-T
       - Dual port (eth0 and eth1)
   2 147 GB SCSI hard drives (10K, 8MB cache)
       - 294 GB total

   ATI Rage XL PCI graphics controller

Performance

Memtest86 reported the following memory performance. It is unknown if the CPU core performing the test was directly attached to the memory:

   L1 Cache:  128K  16428 MB/s
   L2 Cache: 1024K   4082 MB/s
   Memory:     16G   1957 MB/s

Developer Info

The Nway RPC and terminal server are connected to a private network that is accessible from nway1, nway2, and quadrics.sandia.gov:

   192.168.254.2  rpc
   192.168.254.3  terminal-server

Remote Power Control

The RPC outlets are connected as follows:

   Outlet   Host
   ------   ----------------
    6       nway1.sandia.gov
    7       nway2.sandia.gov

To reboot a node:

   telnet rpc
   // Then:
   //    Select "1. Outlet Control"
   //    Type "reboot {outlet number}"
   //    Type "y" to confirm
   //    The node should reboot

Serial Terminals

The terminal-server ports are connected as follows:

   Port     Host
   ----     ----------------
    20      nway1.sandia.gov
    17      nway2.sandia.gov
    

To access a node's serial terminal, telnet to port 20{Port} on the terminal server. For example, to access nway2's terminal type:

   telnet terminal-server 2017

On a Linux node, type Enter to bring up a login prompt.

To exit the telnet session, type Ctrl-]. A ">telnet" prompt should then appear. Type "quit".
