Title:
Linux: Cluster and server specifications, how to access licensed software

Synopsis:
Unix: OIT Linux server specifications and instruction for usage


Solution:
Researchers at Princeton needing compilers, math libraries, analysis and visualization software should use the services available through the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (PICSciE).


Nobel cluster
Nobel (nobel.princeton.edu) is two Linux servers, Compton and Davisson. The Nobel cluster holds licensed scientific, math and engineering software at Princeton University.


Adroit cluster
  • 64-core Beowulf cluster consisting of eight 8-core nodes with 2 GB of memory per core.
    See here for more information.


Arizona cluster (arizona.princeton.edu)
The Arizona servers should be used to read e-mail with Pine, edit files with vi, and publish web pages. There is no scientific, math, or engineering software on the Arizonas, and CPU usage of individual processes is limited. To enable your Unix account and learn how to connect to the Arizona servers, see: kb.princeton.edu/5216.

  • phoenix: Virtual machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 with 2 virtual CPUs


As of July 3, 2012, servers Lxiv, Sixtyfour and the Hats cluster (hats, fez, and fedora) were decommissioned and replaced by the Nobel cluster.
