Computing cluster:


UD is part of the IceCube system of distributed computing. The IceCube cluster at UD is used primarily for simulation production of air showers and coincident events seen by both the surface and in-ice components of IceCube. In 2008 the Bartol Research Institute of the University of Delaware provided funds for a substantial upgrade of our computer cluster, and the cluster was upgraded again in 2009. After the latest upgrade, and the merging of other IceTop computing resources that were managed separately, the IceTop portion of the Bartol-UD cluster now consists of 232 computing cores (29 nodes), 56 with 2GB/core, 144 with 3GB/core and 32 with 4GB/core. There is a total of 86TB of disk space divided across 4 disk servers. The upgrades amounted to about $40,000 of hardware expenses. In addition, at least 10% of the time of IT specialist Daniel De Marco is attributable to IceCube.
