Components
First Prototype (late 1997)
| TYPE | Processor nodes | Converter nodes |
| NUMBER | 4 | 1 |
| CPU | 2 PentiumPro 200MHz | P-II 350MHz |
| MEMORY | FPM | SD 100MHz |
Second Prototype (1998)
The following were added to the first prototype:
| TYPE | Processor nodes | Converter nodes |
| NUMBER | 20 | 4 |
| CPU | 2 P-II 400MHz | P-II 400MHz |
| MEMORY | SD 100MHz | SD 100MHz |
Engineering Run (1999)
The following computers are being added. All the older processor nodes will be
"recycled" as new processor nodes. All the older converter nodes will be
recycled as output nodes.
| TYPE | Processor nodes | Converter nodes |
| NUMBER | 12 | 16 |
| CPU | 2 P-II 500MHz | 2 P-II 500MHz |
| MEMORY | SD 100MHz | SD 100MHz |
Networking
The network connection is realized via a 3COM
SuperStacker II 3300 Fast Ethernet Switch.
A list of cables and their connections to the switches can be
found here.
