HIGH-PERFORMANCE Computing (HPC) Facilities |
|
Equipment Available (In-house and Off-Campus Access) (1) Southern Illinois High-Performance Computing Research Infrastructure (SIHPCI). Dell Linux cluster (106 nodes, Intel Xeon dual CPU quad-core 2.3 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and 90 TB storage) dubbed Maxwell. It was awarded by NSF Computing Research Infrastructure (CRI) Division in 2009. Here is a link to Tutorial on How to Use the Cluster Requesting an Account on Maxwell: Send an email to Professor Shaikh Ahmed (ahmed@siu.edu) Provide the following information:
# Your Name # Affiliation # IP address of the computer(s) on SIUC network from which you would access Maxwell # A short paragraph on research you will perform and software tools to be used
You will receive an email with login information Host: maxwell.ecehpc.siuc.edu Please read throuh the
tutorial (link given above) on how to use the
machine VERY
IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT ... (3) It would be the user's
responsibility to learn how to use the cluster
properly and please be advised that the user
should always transfer and backup her/his data/program
routinely in a local (PC/Mac/Linux) drive.
For System Administrators: Here is the link to SIHPCI webpage (You can access it only from within SIUC network; From outside use VPN) Here is the real-time Ganglia report for maxwell cluster usage...(You can access it only from within SIUC network; From outside use VPN) The following links are for administrative purpose: Platform Computing: http://maxwell.ecehpc.siuc.edu:8080/platform/

(2) SIU
Office of Information Technology: The Office of Information
Technology (OIT) is the primary provider of IT
resources and support for Southern Illinois
University Carbondale (SIUC). The Network
Engineering division under the OIT is responsible
for managing and maintaining network
infrastructures for the Camus Area Network, which
include both wired and wireless networks. The team
offers various services to support not only
network usage but also related researches across
the campus such as Network Infrastructure,
Wireless Connection, QoS & VoIP, VPN, and
IP/Subnet Request. The proposed research will
utilize the campus network and certain
aforementioned network services to support
developed services or applications. The OIT at
SIUC can effectively support the research project
by coordinating relevant network services on
campus. The IT also possesses an HPC system based
on Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) solution,
which includes 40 C-Series nodes, Intel XEON E-5
processors, 64GB RAM/node, 20 cores/node, 46 TB of disk space
(http://oit.siu.edu/rcc/bigdog/). (3) In-house
25-node, dual CPU quad-core 2.3 GHz, 16GB RAM
Intel Xeon cluster dubbed octopus. All
200 cores are dedicated to nanostructures modeling
simulations. Here are the complete cluster
specifications.
(4) Access to the NSF's nanoHUB.org computational workspace. (5) Access to the NSF's XSEDE computational workspaces.
(6) Access to the Oak Ridge National Lab's HPC machines. Here is the Information page for Jaguar@ORNL. Here is the Jaguar User Guide. ORNL Science Links: materials@ORNL DoE@ORNL materials for harsh environments (7)
Access to in-house Synopsis and Cadence design
tools. (8) A large, recently renovated modern research laboratory of about 1100 sq. ft. in the Engineering building at SIU. The lab has office spaces and setups (PCs, printers, etc.) for at least 10 personnel.
