Computing resources:


The Bartol Research Institute maintains a modest cluster (272 cores, 800 GB RAM, 90TB storage) for particle astrophysics, which is used primarily for simulation (CORSIKA) production of air showers and development of simulations for the enhanced surface instrumentation (scintillators, radio). This year, the UD IceCube group is investing in three nodes in the UD central computing cluster, with 20 cores and 192 GB per node.
