BCFpc -- Batch Computing Farm based on PCs;
dedicated as divisional computing engine
St Andrews Maths Cluster "copson" is an
84-node dual 2.4GHz Xeon cluster. Each node has 2GB of RAM (168GB in total)
and the machines are connected using Myrinet-2000. It was installed on 20th
January by Streamline Computing. 60 nodes were bought on behalf of the entire
maths department using SRIF funding and the remaining 24 nodes were bought by
the Solar Group using PPARC funding.
The machine is named after Edward Copson (1908 - 1980), an expert in Complex
Analysis who was Regis Professor of Mathematics at St Andrews from 1950 until
1969.
Copson and its immediate predecessor have been used in many important areas of
research.
Caltech Tier-2 Center --
computing cluster dedicated to the activity at collaboration CMS (CERN)
Wisconsin Tier-2 Cluster (UW Madison) The
High Energy Physics group at the University of Wisconsin strives to maintain
an information technology infrastructure that is trouble-free, secure, highly
available and well understood.
We use AFS file sharing and Condor batch computing software to implement a
high throughput Linux computing environment. We have about 510 Xeon and
Opteron CPUs for data analysis.
MIT CMS Tier-2 Facility - the cluster at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (around 300 hosts in Aug 2007)
CMS Tier-2 center at Purdue -- The CMS
Tier-2 center at Purdue University is a joint collaboration between the Purdue
Physics department and the university's information technology department:
ITaP. We are a part of a global collaboration with the Compact Muon Solenoid
(CMS) experiment being conducted at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. In
this collaboration, there is a vast amount of data and computation that is
shared among the participating sites. As a result of this needed exchange, we
are active members of the Open Science Grid (OSG) to help nurture the growing
infrastructure to provide the most resources available for research. The CMS
Tier-2 center at Purdue is a facility to support the computational needs of
physicists in the US and across the globe. Our primary focus is computing
support for the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment.
UCSD Tier2 Portal This web portal is your gateway
to information regarding the UCSD Tier2 Center and related computing
resources.
The UCSD Tier2 Center is a part of a worldwide collaboration of physicists and
computing professionals. Ours goals are to meet the requirements of our
individual research projects while also building a worldwide grid of
interconnected computing resources. The ultimate goal being to provide
opportunistic sharing of computing resources with scientists of all
disciplines all over the world.
The UCSD High Energy Physics group are active pariticpant in the Open Science
Grid (OSG). The OSG goal is to bring together resources for researchers around
the world.
KRONOS -- The Value Cluster
Project. The main idea is to build most inexpensive cluster. Here KRONOS
Breaks Dollars per GFLOPS record! (April 8 2005).

Scientific Computing on the Sony PlayStation 2
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications and the Computer Science
department at the University of Illinois are exploring the use of the Sony
PlayStation® 2 game console for scientific computing and high-resolution
visualization. The PS2's Emotion Engine CPU has two "vector units" that are
designed to manipulate 3-D polygon graphics for gaming. Sony's Linux Kit (for
PlayStation 2) provides programmers direct access to the vector units in the
CPU, allowing them to be used for these non-graphics tasks.
