Computing cluster:


UD is part of the IceCube system of distributed computing. The IceCube cluster at UD is used primarily for simulation (CORSIKA) production of air showers and development of simulations of 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 has been upgraded from time-to-time since then. After the current upgrade, the IceCube portion of the Bartol-UD cluster now consists of 272 computing cores (28 nodes), 200 with 2GB/core, 40 with 3GB/core and 32 with 4GB/core. There is a total of 90TB of disk space divided across 3 disk servers. The UD share of the cost if upgrades amounted to about $40,000 in total.
