Brutus is the central high-performance cluster of ETH Zurich.
A new computing cluster called EULER has been announced and opened to the public in May 2014.
[1] Brutus is a heterogeneous system containing 11 different kinds of compute nodes: In total Brutus contains 19,872 cores, plus a few hundreds in the cluster's file servers, login nodes and management nodes.
The peak performance of Brutus is slightly over 200 teraflops (200 × 1012 floating-point operations per second).
Thanks to its heterogeneous nature, Brutus can tackle a wide range of applications:
