Cluster list

General description

Depending on the hardware equipment and the age of a cluster there is always a set of typical applications that fit the cluster capabilities. The idea is to run any calculation on a cluster that just fits the job requirements; running it on less capable cluster would slow down the calculation or prevent running it at all, starting a low-demanding job on highly equippped cluster would waste the resources and prevent running jobs that require such equipment.

Overview of clusters
Name Age Memory size / core Disk (scratch space) size Usage Access
cobalt 2003 (?) public
argon 2005 public
krypton 2005 public
radon 2005 public
palladium 2004 - 2005 public
iridium 2006 - 2008 public
helium 2006 - 2008 public
francium 2007 public
lithium 2006 - 2008 public
uranium 2008 public
barium 2007 - 2008 public
thallium 2007 - 2008 public
cobalt
very old cluster; good for tests, student experiments, teaching (public access)
argon
krypton
radon
older clusters but still in a good condition; used for sinle-processor calculations that do not require much resources (public access)
palladium
older cluster for memory and/or disk space demanding calculations (public access)
iridium
general use cluster (limited access)
helium
parallel molecular dynamics calculations (limited access)
francium
parallel molecular dynamics calculations with infiniband (limited access)
lithium
cluster for higly demanding parallel and/or single-processor calculations with a lot memory and disk space (limited access)
uranium
general use cluster (public access)
barium
cluster for parallel molecular dynamics calculations (limited access)
thallium
general use cluster (very limited access)
