silica - The Science and Engineering HPC Facility |
|
A High Performance Computer for the Faculties of Science and
Engineering, the silica cluster, is available for use by members
of the School of Physics. The facility is now running 24/7.
The web site for the cluster is here. The site has details of the software available on the machine. The following provides general information about use of the cluster by members of the School, and in particular about obtaining an account.
Brief machine details
Advice and help
See also the Local
IT Support web pages for general computing support.
Obtaining an account
To request an account, please download and fill in the form available
from the
conditions for use page
of the cluster web site, and then give the form to Tony Monger (room
329 in A28). Tony will collect all forms and then
the Physics co-ordinator
Iver Cairns will sign them and forward them to Richard Leow, the system
administrator for silica. Please note that filling in the form implies
an agreement to pay the $100 fee, and that an academic supervisor needs
to be a signatory. Tony will organise collection of fees from research
groups for all accounts opened, on an annual basis.
Issues
The Physics co-ordinator for silica is
Iver Cairns. All
enquiries should be directed to him.
