EECS High Performance Computing Cluster
 About
the EECS
HPC Cluster
The EECS HPC Cluster is a compute server built using the Sun Grid Engine with commodity hardware and freely available
software. With more than 140 CPU's, the Cluster is ideally suited
for Monte Carlo-style computations in which the same program is
run many times with different random number seeds. It is also
possible to run parallel programs on the Cluster using C and the
MPI (Message Passing Interface) library, though the relatively
high latency and low bandwidth of the network means only relatively
coarse-grained computations can achieve reasonable speedup on
many processors.
