Bioengineering Cluster Computing Facilities

Three computer systems within the ITC are either dedicated to, or are extensively utilized for, biological/biomedical research. These include:

  • BioCluster Computer facility: A 20 node Apple XR Gserve cluster dedicated to bioinformatics research
  • Biodynamics Cluster facility: A 50 node Sun cluster dedicated to finite element modeling of tissue deformation and fluid flows in physiologic systems
  • Linux Technology Center: A national center of expertise in Linux, open source, and open standards, supporting promoting research, development and commercialization. The Center supports a IBM Z900 Model 108 with 5 Terabytes of storage; 9 Power5 systems; and a 48 node Linus xCluster.
