Large-Scale SCI Clusters in Practice: Architecture and Performance

The Paderborn Scalable Compute Server (PSC Server) is a prototype of a commercial product that has been installed in 1997/98 by a vendor consortium consisting of Siemens AG and Scali Computer AS at the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing. It builds on the COTS concept, that is, on the use of common off-the-shelf technology.
