Computing Facilities

Overview of Computer Labs

The School of Mathematics has computer workstations in offices and in labs for individuals to log in to. Machines dedicated to remote access and computations are also available. Supercomputing resources are available on campus from the Digital Technology Center.

Use a secure shell (ssh) to connect remotely to computers.

IT Labs operates computer labs for undergrad students in the Institute of Technology. ADCS operates labs and kiosks around campus for general use.

Classrom lab reservations can be made with Stephanie Lawson. Access to 270d and 314 is available 24 hours/day with a door code received with your account sheet.

Math Servers

Remote Shell Server

birch.math.umn.edu - Remote access only. See our ssh guide.
Dual processor AMD Athlon MP 1800 processors with 2 GB of memory

Computation Servers

Simulations that require more memory, or to run for a long time can use the compute servers. These machines are for research use only. Send systems staff an email (students should include a faculty sponsor). Turnaround for access is typically a day.

bach.math.umn.edu
Dual processor AMD Opteron 64bit 2200 processors with 4 GB of memory
mozart.math.umn.edu - Research use only.
Single processor Intel Xeon 2800 64bit processor with 1 GB of memory

Supercomputers at the U

The Minnesota Supercomputing Institute has large and small computer clusters available. Computing tutorials & workshops are offered throughout the year. MSI has small clusters in labs focused on different topics, and core clusters for high end supercomputing.

**MSI Laboratories**
Basic Sciences Computing Computational Genetics Computational Biology	Visualization-Workstation Scientific Development and Visualization Scientific Data Management

**MSI Core Computing Machines**
Number of cores in parenthesis
IBM BladeCenter Linux Cluster (1100) SGI Altix (436) IBM Power4 (344)	Linux Cluster (152) Unisys ES7000 Orion 430 (16)

MSI proposal deadlines for their supercomputing resources are April 15th and October 15th. The MSI account application form is ideally submitted before the deadline, but can be sent in during the current access period. The MSI proposal review process is more detailed if the proposal uses more than 950 service units (SUs). To use MSI proposals must have a faculty sponsor from an accredited MN post-secondary school.

Other Supercomputing Resources

LCSE works on "innovative hardware and system software solutions to problems in computational science and engineering". IT faculty and students have access to the lab.

AHPCRC at the University of Minnesota runs a Summer Institute for students, and has an annual grant process for faculty research proposals. The AHPCRC has Cray X1 primer.
