About Lawrencium Cluster
Lawrencium is a general purpose cluster that is suitable for running a wide variety of scientific applications. The system is named after the chemical element 103 which was discovered at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1958 and in honor of Ernest Orlando Lawrence, the inventor of the cyclotron.
The original Lawrencium system was built as a 200-node cluster and debuted as #500 on the Top500 supercomputing list in Nov 2008.
Lawrencium consists of multiple generations of compute nodes with the lr8 partition being the most recent addition and the lr4 partition the oldest still in production. In addition, there is a lr_bigmem partition with 1.5TB memory per node, and cm1, cm2, cf1 partitions (details in the table below).
