The New Cluster This system was installed in the Spring of 2009. At the current time, it consists of one server node and seven compute nodes, each with 2 times 4 cores. It is currently being extended by three more nodes.         (Photos taken 04/09, courtesy of and copyright © Grigory Shamov) The Old Cluster This system was bought in late 2003 and installed in early 2004 − and it is still serving us faithfully! As can be seen, it was built from separate computers in true BEOWULF fashion, the most economical way of doing it at the time.     (Photos taken 04/09, courtesy of and copyright © Grigory Shamov) External Systems We use various external systems, essentially wherever we can find them! An incomplete current/ recent list includes: (See the links for descriptions and, in many case, pictures of the respective systems.) Westgrid; ACEnet; The URACIL cluster of the Wetmore group at the University of Lethbridge, AB; The supercomputing facilities at the EMSL in Richland, WA.
