Deprecated: Computer Farms

Several computer farms exist that can potentially be used by GlueX collaborators. This page attempts to list the farms and some rough parameters that can be used to gauge their ability. For each farm, there is a contact person who you will need to coordinate with in order to get access. The exception being the JLab farm which can be accessed through the CUE system.

Institution	contact	Nodes	Cores	CPU	Memory	OS	Notes
JLab	Sandy Philpott	See the Scientific Computing Resources page					This is the "Scientific Computing" farm only (there is another HPC farm for lattice calculations.) This is available to anyone with a JLab CUE computer account. However, it is often busy with processing experimental data.
Indiana Univ.	Matt Shepherd	55	110	1.6GHz
Indiana Univ.	Matt Shepherd	768	1536	2.5GHz			This is University-level farm that we can get access to if really needed. From Matt's e-mail: "If we need mass simulation work, we can also try to tap into the university research computing machines (Big Red has 768 dual 2.5 GHz nodes), but these might be best reserved for very large simulation jobs like Pythia background for high-stats analyses."
Univ. of Edinburgh	Dan Watts	1456	1456			Linux	This is a large, high performance farm from which you can buy time. From Dan's e-mail: "We have access to a very large farm here at Edinburgh. We can apply to purchase priority time on the farm or have a current base subscription which schedules the jobs with lower priority (but seems to run fine for the current usage). It is a high-performance cluster of servers (1456 processors) and storage (over 275Tb of disk)."
Glasgow Univ.	Ken Livingston	32 9 26	64 72 52	2MHz Opteron 1.8MHz Opteron 1MHz PIII	1G 16G 0.5G	Fedora 8
Carnegie Mellon Univ.	Curtis Meyer	47	32x8+15*2=286	32 AMD Barcelona, 15 Xeon(older)	1GB/core	RHEL5
Univ. of Connecticut	Richard Jones	91	786	248 AMD 2GHz 146 AMD 3.4GHz 384 2GHz i7	1-2GB/core	Centos 6	Scheduling is by condor, accepts Gluex jobs from OSG, local users have priority over grid jobs.
Florida State Univ.	Paul Eugenio	60	118	88 cores: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 30 cores: AMD MP 2600	1-2GB/core	Upgrading to Rocks 5.1 (CentOS 5 based) (currently CentOS 4.5 (Rocks 4.3)	FSU Nuclear Physics Group cluster
Florida State Univ.	Paul Eugenio	400	2788	D-Core 2220 2.8 GHz Opterons, Q-Core 2356 2.3 GHz Opteron, Q-Core AMD 2382 Processors Shanghai 2.6GHz	2GB/core	x86_64 Centos 5 based Rocks 5.0 cluster	FSU HPC university cluster
Northwestern Univ.	Sean Dobbs	22	328	Various Intel Xeons, 4-10 cores, 1.9-2.4 GHz	1-2 GB/core	CentOS 6	NUMEP group cluster, also accepts OSG jobs
Univ. of Regina	Zisis Papandreou	10	20	Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz	1GB/node	Red Hat 9	Batch system: condor queue, access through head node. NFS disk handling; close to 0.75 TB
