Cluster Computing: Difference between revisions

With the loss of a postgrad admin for the cluster (Karl Podesta, who left DCU to join [http://www.securelinx.com/ Securelinx Ltd]), and the arrival of a commercial cluster in the School of Computing (brought through a tender process for the National Institute of Cellular Biotechnology or NICB, 16 dual-CPU nodes Dell Poweredge running Red Hat Linux), the old Redbrick cluster has been since decommissioned (roughly 2004). It provided a platform for 2 years of research within the "ModSci" research group while it lasted. The new NICB cluster is now only available for use via special request by students & staff of NICB, or of the Masters in Bioinformatics, and not open to all students. A new commodity cluster specifically for the School of Computing has been set up by Neil Costigan working in cryptography on elliptic curves ([http://136.206.19.220/ DCU Crypto Cluster]).
