• 2 quad core Xeons @ 2.5ghz per node
• 4x1TB SATA disks per node
• 8G RAM per node
• 1 gigabit ethernet on each node
• 40 nodes per rack
• 4 gigabit ethernet uplinks from each rack to the core (unfortunately a misconfiguration, we usually do 8 uplinks)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5)
• Sun Java JDK 1.6.0_05-b13
