Catalyst has 281TB of total SSD storage and is a giant computing cluster broken into 324 computing units, called “nodes” by LLNL. Each computing unit has two 12-core Xeon E5-2695v2 processors, totaling 7,776 CPU cores for the supercomputer. Each node has 128GB of DRAM, while 304 nodes have 800GB of solid-state drive storage. Additionally, 12 nodes have 3.2TB of solid-state drive storage for use across computing units.
So that's 324 nodes x 128GB/node = 41,472GB of DRAM = 40.5TB of DRAM. 
Also, there's 8 (= 324 - 304 - 12) nodes that are unaccounted for. Those must be NSA nodes.

Not quite - we can prove the existence of the NSA!

Looking at the huge machine reminds me of the first computer run with vacuum tubes and now we have move power in a laptop then they had.

We probably have more computing power in a cell phone or even a scientific calculator....

True they were very crude but it was a start!
The Smithsonian has a part of a couple of the early units and they are huge, can't even imagine what it would have been like to work on one!

And I am thankful for this start... Those guys were/are geniuses..

Has anyone heard of him ? Seems an eternity since he last posted here.
(Do not ask me, I don't know why I came to think about him).

AFAIR, he was objecting some changes on the site (or some things that should have changed in his opinion and did not) and finally left.

Hi All,
I dropped my first CP article yesterday (at last!) got some feed back and have been trying to act on it and something broke. The main problem I was trying to improve screen captures that were a little fuzzy with png's and started to upload the better images and they did not appear in the current files list, thought I must have gone over a limit deleted some images and still they don't appear also I appear to have broken the web page as no images show up there either.

He wrote "heavily". When Nagy has drunk heavily, he goes up to the pub and start drinking for real.
