Computational Modeling Resources

High-Performance Computers

  • Bluemoon supercomputer from Vermont Advanced Computing Center (414-Opteron processors, Linux 64bit, Myrinet, as of April 2008). We make extensive use of this cluster.

  • Home-built Xi cluster. 20-AMD/Opteron64 processor cluster with Linux operating system, MPI, Absoft ProFortran/C compiler (built on Summer 2004). Just for limited use.
