  • PMA Divisional Beowulf -- dedicated for astrophysics
  • 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.

  • CLusters at parallel.ru -- Educational computing clusters at Moscow State University
  • 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.
  • Linux Cluster at IHEP -- mainly for HEP computing
  • JINR Cluster -- mainly for HEP computing
  • KUP Linux Cluster -- CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL PHYSICS PHYSICS INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF BERN, SWITZERLAND (55 machines or so)
  • RAMData -- another example of 35 machines cluster at Chemistry of SUNY (Stony Book) (dedicated for HEP and Chemistry)
  • VisLab -- Visual Computing Cluster (cluster at Computing Science department at SUNYSB)
  • ACCRE -- Advanced Computing Center for Research&Education -- cluster at Vanderbilt University
  • The bunch of midrange clusters at St.Petersburg State University (Russia)
  • KRONOS -- The Value Cluster Project. The main idea is to build most inexpensive cluster. Here KRONOS Breaks Dollars per GFLOPS record! (April 8 2005).
  • The Stone SouperComputer at Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL). The Stone SouperComputer is no longer in operation, but this page stands as a tribute to its original design and development. Forrest Hoffman, 27 August 2003
  • 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.
