Brandeis University provides a number of systems which are available to the community for high-powered research. In addition to these services, the IBS Technology Office offers an IBS-only set of research servers. Below, you will find listings of research-based systems on campus, their uses, included software packages and user-limitation.

Brandeis IBS Minnow

Minnow is a Redhat server designed to provide IBS faculty and PhD students access to network licensed versions of Matlab, Stata, and Dynare. This system is an 8 core processor with 16GB Memory.

Brandeis IBS Archer

Currently under development, "Archer" is a state of the art high-power computing server which is dedicated to research needs of the IBS Community. Powered by Citrix Xen-Platform, "Archer" is a virtual-server being developed to replaced our current "Minnow" server. This system will include 48 Cores @ 3.36GHZ, 128GB Memory, Terabit Data Transfer and will house a number of software platforms including STATA, Matlab, Dynare, R, Mathematica and SAS.

Brandeis HPCC

The High Power Computer Cluster (HPCC) at Brandeis is a centrally administered cluster composed of computer nodes owned by various lab groups. The cluster runs 64-bit Linux and is accessible athpc64.brandeis.edu to users with accounts. Qsub, qrsh, single jobs, Matlab jobs, Mathematica jobs and parrallels are only a few of the available systems within the HPC. This system is not powered by IBS Technology, however we can easily direct you to the right people to get you rolling. Below you will find various resources which will help you to learn more about the HPC and get you started.
