This is a copy of the former TINA website. TINA itself is switched off since 27 May 2016 and is no longer available at http://tina.nat.uni-magdeburg . The content has been carefully adapted, media files have been brought up to current standards and some links have been updated or removed. This page now serves as a small reminder of a great project. The penguin is still flying!

9 nodes added. Each node has 2 XEON 2.8 Ghz CPUs and 4 GByte of RAM. The nodes were scrapped out by another institute, but we use them to replace old and slow nodes that were taken out of service in 2005. At this moment we have 86 nodes up and running, more than ever before.

17.09.2009

14 blades of the former cluster leonardo have been added to Tina. Each blade has 2 XEON 3 GHz CPUs and 4 GByte of RAM.

10.09.2007

New hardware (harddisks + controller) and complete new setup (software)

04.02.2005

Tina has been renewed: 64 boards have been upgraded to dual XEON 3 GHz CPUs, all nodes have now 2 GByte of memory.

28.07.2004

During the last weekend Tina was shut down for maintenance.

July 2004

After more than 3 years of faultless operation Tina shows first symptoms of ageing: the CPU voltage on several boards dropped below its critical value. We will switch off nodes in times of low usage to slow down further ageing. It's time for a renewal...

13.11.2002

The 28 nodes will be switched on again, but we expect further problems with the air conditioning for the next couple of weeks.

12.11.2002

The air conditioning at Tina's site has some troubles. To keep the temperature low, 28 nodes have been switched off.

03.04.2002

Tina has gotten six new compute nodes. Every node has two 1.2 GHz Athlon CPUs.

07.03.2002

Tina's memory has doubled: it is now 1 GB per node

17.10.2001

Lecture on "Cluster Computing": online material available (in german)

25.08.2001

From 16.09.2001 to 18.09.2001 Tina will be down due to maintenance.

28.05.2001

Today we celebrate Tina's official inauguration.

19.05.2001

24.04.2001

Since a few weeks Tina is in the new top cluster list.

22.03.2001

16.02.2001

Tina has made it into the wall street journal. The young lady is getting famous...

15.02.2001

New performance data. There are still some Gflops missing to get Tina into the TOP 500 list of supercomputers, but by now we know the bottleneck.

09.02.2001

Tina's first scientific output! This morning, and after 9 hours, Tina found the minimum autocorrelation sequence of length 52. Click here for more informations on this problem or try our little low-autocorrelation puzzle.
