STATEMENT OF WORK: This Statement of Work defines the system installation, configuration, training, and demonstration portions of the LINUX Cluster procurement. 1.0 BACKGROUND The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) has a requirement for a High Performance Computing Cluster for performing physics-based computation. This system will be a distributed memory Linux cluster, tailored to meet the requirements for highly parallel numerical computations of large problems with computational fluid dynamics, finite element and hydrocode software. The system will also run visualization software for the large data sets produced by the numerical computations as well as mesh generation software to produce large computational meshes for complex geometries. System installation, configuration, training, and demonstration are part of this effort. 2.0 REQUIREMENTS 3.1 System Installation, Integration, & Configuration The contractor shall install, integrate, and configure the machine on-site at NSWCDD (including all required software listed in "Linux Cluster- Technical Requirements List" document. 3.2 System Demonstration The contractor shall demonstrate functionality of the visualization server on a user/client workstation. The contractor shall execute the HPC Challenge Benchmark Tests on the system including a multi-hour HPL execution using every compute core. 3.3 System Training The contractor shall train an NSWCDD government employee on the installation and configuration of the Linux Operating System, Cluster Package, and Visualization Server. 3.0 Travel All contractor travel performed as a result of this contract shall be conducted in accordance with Joint Federal Travel Regulations. 4.0 Technical Point(s) of Contact Wayne Chepren 540-653-8012 Wayne.Chepren@navy.mil Joe Silber 540-653-2735 Joseph.Silber@navy.mil The equipment will provide the computer resources required to run computational physics software in support of physics-based Modeling and Simulation for a wide range of Navy and joint sponsors. The need for proven reliability and compatibility is essential for this requirement. CLIN 0001: Qty. 1 - LINUX Cluster in accordance with the above specifications. Unit of Issue for CLIN 0001 shall be EACH. Delivery Terms shall be FOB Destination (Dahlgren, VA) Delivery Time shall be: CLIN 0001 - 45 days ARO or less Linux Cluster- Evaluation Criteria: Proposals that meet all technical requirements (Enclosure: Linux Cluster- Technical Requirements List) will be evaluated on the following listed in order of priority: Technical Capability Total core count and overall relative performance (including processor speed, cache sizes, etc) Past Performance: Demonstrated past performance delivering and supporting turn-key high performance computing machines. Proven maturity of machine architecture including both hardware and software. Past deliveries of similar machines which have successfully run any of the following software: CTH, ALE3D, LS-DYNA.
