Overview
The cluster was was deliverded to the school at the end of the summer 2008. It was purchased from StreamLine Computing with SRIF funding, to provide a central HPC resource for research at the School. The service is hosted by IT Services in the Keppel Street building. It has since been upgraded with some newer hardware and various OS updates.The OS running on the cluster is Scientific/Centos 7 linux and the Job Scheduler is Open Grid Scheduler (previously Sun Grid Engine).
A quick over view:
- Scientific Linux 7
- 33 Nodes
- 29 nodes with between 12GB-32GB RAM and 8 CPU cores running at 2.5Ghz
- 4 nodes with 128GB RAM and 12 CPU cores running at 2.30Ghz
- Each user has 200GB of storage by default
- OpenMP for single node multi core/processor parallel computation and OpenMPI (intel and gcc) for parallel computation across the cluster
Please Available Software page for a more complete of software on the cluster.
