I think the first line itself (High Performance Computing) reveales that this is a special purpose computer (read - real supercomputer). 512 cores and 24TiB of memory further confirm that. However, this is just a small sized supercomputer (unless that's the limit of resources a user can reserve). I don't know the constraints on this particular SGI machine, but many regular apps cannot be run or rendered useless in HPC domain even when using Linux.
@ketanmaheshwari, which supercomputer is this?
- ketanmaheshwari 6y agoThank you for your comment. This is an SGI UV300 system similar to this one: https://www.hpcwire.com/2016/05/11/tgac-installs-largest-sgi-uv-300-supercomputer-life-sciences/ https://www.hpcwire.com/2016/05/11/tgac-installs-largest-sgi... I believe databases like postgres etc. would probably run on this system. I did not choose that route because I wanted to see how far I can go with Awk.
