| Large-scale computing facility for soft matter simulations. |
This page will be the portal for the large-scale computing activities for soft matter simulations of the Theorie and Simulations Plattform.
Here you will find information regarding the SoftComp Linux Cluster and the relevant links for operations.
The new SoftComp Linux Cluster
On the 8th of November 2006 an opening ceremony for the new SoftComp cluster was held at the central institute for applied mathematics (ZAM) at the research center Jülich. This computer cluster was financed in a joint effort of 8 member groups of the theory&simulation platform with a strong support by the focused funding initiative of the network. The computer was installed and will be administered by theZAM.
The members of the theory&simulation platform and the ZAM will cooperate in using this computer as a competitive large-scale computing facility for soft matter simulations.
The cluster has a peak performance of 1 TFlop, significantly enhancing the computing capabilities within the network. It serves as focal point for the integration activities within the theory&simulation platform and we expect future growth of the cluster both in installed CPU power and in number of contributing groups.
