IMCB Cluster completed
NovaGlobal commissioned Singapore’s first Bioinformatics Supercomputing Cluster at IMCB (Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology)
72-CPU (66 1-CPU & 2 4-CPU) Compaq Alpha Tru64 biocluster at IMCB
NovaGlobal has played a crucial role in commissioning Singapore’s first Bioinformatics Supercomputing Cluster
The cluster is housed in the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, National University of Singapore. Phase I of the cluster, comprising over twenty high performance 64-bit UNIX servers and a SAN storage subsystem with 500GB of storage, was commissioned on 5 May 2001, having passed the entire suite of User Acceptance Tests with flying colours at least week ahead of time.
Phase II of the cluster was successfully commissioned on 17 July 2001, again ahead of the expected August deadline. This phase saw an addition of 50 servers plus another 1.5TB of storage for a total of more than 70 servers, some of them in VLM (Very Large Memory) and/or high-availablity configuration, and 2TB of storage.
All hardware and system software for the cluster were provided by a Fortune 100 company. NovaGlobal was engaged as the system integrator to deliver a complete turnkey solution to the end customer. Besides the usual systems setup, NovaGlobal installed clustering software like PVM, MPI and LSF and Bioinformatics software like Blast and Ensembl, and ensure that all these software are integrated seamlessly within the cluster. What made the project even more challenging was the fact the that cluster operates on a a commercial UNIX – where most of the clustering and bioinformatics software had to be built from (at times patchy) source, rather than Linux, the preferred OS for Beowulf clusters, and for which pre-packaged clustering solutions abound.

Beowulf Clusters
Note: The cluster was installed at the Department of Computational Science, National University of Singapore. While NovaGlobal as a company was not directly involved in any way in the cluster, our technical staff comprised about two thirds of the team that proposed, implemented, and deployed the cluster.
The cluster comprised 16 Pentium-Pro nodes each running at 200MHz and equipped with 64MB of RAM and dual fast ethernet controllers. The OS was Redhat Linux 5.0. It was used mainly for running PVM/MPI type jobs. In early 2000 the cluster was decommissioned in favour of NovaGlobal’s high performance AlphaStorm workstations each equipped with two 667MHz Alpha 21264 ev67 processors and 2 / 4GB of memory, and with each workstation providing about the same sustained useable computing power as the entire Beowulf cluster.
