FinisTerrae supercomputer, located in CESGA is an integrated system by shared-memory nodes with and SMP NUMA architecture.

FinisTerrae is composed of 144 computational nodes:
142 hp (106 kW) HP Integrity rx7640 nodes with 16 Itanium Montvale cores and 128 GB memory each one
1 hp (0.75 kW) Integrity Superdome node, with 128 Itanium Montvale cores and 1024 GB memory
1 hp (0.75 kW) Integrity Superdome node, with 128 Itanium 2 cores and 384 GB memory
A hierarchic storing system with:
22 nodes for storing management with 96 processing cores
The storage is connected to 72 cabins connected to 864 SATA disks, managed  by Lustre.
Backups are stored on tapes which provide 2.200.000 GB.

An interconnecting network between Infiniband 4x DDR at 20 Gbit/s nodes, providing 16 Gbit/s of effective bandwidth
An external management Gigabit Ethernet network
The nodes user SUSE Linux Enterprise Server as the operating system.
This operating system helped save an important amount of money when compared to other non-free options.

FinisTerrae includes open software and standard like Linux, Lustre, Grid Engine and Globus.

System also has next compilators, libraries and development tools: Intel C/C and Fortran, Intel MKL, Vtune, HP-MPI and HP UPC.
