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.

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)
