Hardware Overview CMUlab
CMUlab manages three different testbeds. This page is under construction.
Cluster Nodes
- 8 pc850
PC nodes (pc001-pc008), consisting of:
- 850MHz Intel Pentium III processors.
- Based on the
Intel ISP1100 1U server platform (old reliable BX chipset).
- 512MB PC133 ECC SDRAM.
- 5
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports:
- 2 builtin on the motherboard
(
eth2/eth3
in Linux, fxp0/fxp1
in FreeBSD)
- 2 on an
Intel EtherExpress Pro 100+ Dual-Port Server Adapter
(
eth0/eth1
in Linux, fxp2/fxp3
in FreeBSD)
- 1 on a single-port Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B Adapter
(
eth4
in Linux, fxp4
in FreeBSD)
-
40GB IBM 60GXP 7200RPM ATA/100 IDE hard drive.
- Floppy drive.
Wireless network Emulator - public
- 10 pc2000
Dell D610 laptops (pcemu001-pcemu010) consisting of:
- 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo (?)
- 1 GB RAM (?)
- 80Gb Hard Drive Size, 5400 RPM Hard Drive Speed (?)
- 10/100/1000 Ethernet for control network (?)
- Atheros wireless card (?)
- FPGA-based signal propagation emulation hardware supporting:
- 2.4 GHz ISM band
- Up to 15 nodes
- Full n x n signal level communication and interference
- 1 pc2000
emulation control PC (emucontrol-1) consisting of:
- 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo (?)
- 1 GB RAM (?)
