NJIT Scientific Computing Information and Resources
The Institute offers its faculty/students a large selection of
Microsoft and Mac OS X software for personal use; click here to start
looking for what you need. It also operates a number of computing platforms suitable for
scientific computing applications. The only place where these
University-wide resources are described is here.
In my opinion, the only machines of interest to DMS/CAMS members are axon.njit.edu, sulcus.njit.edu,
and fermi.njit.edu. Here is some
additional information that I've managed to gather:
- axon.njit.edu
- This is a SUN SMP machine. Compiler and math library
information can be found here. The compilers
support OpenMP directives. If anyone knows more about this machine
please pass me the information for inclusion herein. SUN also provides
freeware for
Solaris; if you need something that's not currently installed please
check out the SUN freeware and/or the web and fill out a request using the link
on the right. If you search the Web, make sure you first look
here.
- fermi.njit.edu &
sulcus.njit.edu
- These are Silicon Graphics SMP machines. They can also
do OpenMP and run MPI. Click here
for SGI compiler and math library information, and here for SGI MPI
information. Web information on the Scientific Computing Library is here.
Alternatively, you can do man intro_scsl
and/or man complib.sgimath for more. Use
the standard compiler command and link with -lmpi
-lscs -lcomplib.sgimath to use MPI. To run an mpi code do mpirun -np NPROCS ./executable at the command
line, where NPROCS is the
number of processes required and executable
is your code's executable image. Silicon graphics also provides
freeware for its IRIX operating system; if you
need something that's not currently installed please
check out the SGI freeware and/or the web and fill out a request using the link
on the right.
