Exemplar HW/SW Status
Current configuration is 256 CPUs in four hypernodes
Nodes interconnected using CTI and HiPPI (two switches)
HPSS traffic travels over HiPPI
ATM connections planned for August
Maximum hardware limit on CPUs is currently 512: no limit in software
Disk controller configuration limits I/O rates currently to around 15 Mbytes/sec. With more controllers, will achieve 40 Mbytes/sec.
One IP address per Hypernode.
HPSS client code compiles on HP/UX (not yet linked)
Non-DCE client being worked on at SDSC
