CRESCO1
The CRESCO1 cluster, located in Portici, was part of the ENEA HPC infrastructure and was decommissioned on November 18, 2014.
After the decommissioning, the compute nodes were reused in the cloud infrastructure of the DTE-ICT division.
System Overview
CRESCO1 was an HPC cluster composed of compute nodes based on IBM System x3850-M2 servers equipped with Intel Xeon Tigerton E7330 processors.
The system was interconnected through an InfiniBand network and integrated with storage and service nodes within the ENEA HPC infrastructure.
