Linux Cluster in a IKEA Helmer Cabinet
May 30, 2008 – 9:31 amThe most amazing is that this machine just cost as a better standard PC, but has 24 cores that run each at 2.4 Ghz, a total of 48GB ram, and just need 400W of power!! This means that it hardly gets warm, and make less noise then my desktop pc.
Render jobs that took all night, now gets done in 10-12 min.
He has Helmer 2 planned with help from google and will do about 12Tflops. (64x times faster then Helmer 1) and cost about the same.
Stay tune for more info about Helmer 2

One Response to “Linux Cluster in a IKEA Helmer Cabinet”
A friend and I built another version of a 24-core Linux cluster built into a $29.99 Ikea Helmer cabinet. The total cost is $2550.11. The design and implementation is robust and elegant. On my blog, I show how to build it in pictures, breakdown the component costs, talk about air flow, and discuss idle and full speed temperatures. We think our solution is practical and feasible for other people needing a small cluster for specialty applications.
