Subject: Running CCM3 on PC Clusters

Dear CCM Users,
I'd like to build a PC cluster for running CCM3
or CSM. I'd appreciate advice concerning the questions
as follows
1) To have a 50-year simulation @T42 resolution with
prescribed SSTs, what is a minimum number of nodes
that I need to have (e.g., 8 nodes, 16 nodes,...)
2) What are the recommended specifications (CPUS, hard disks ...)?
3) How much do they cost?
4) What does it take to manage a PC cluster? Does it need
a dedicated computer technician?
5) Is it possible to run the full version of CSM
using a PC cluster?
6) Can you run a regional climate model (say, MM5) nested with
CCM3?
Many thanks.
Liang
