Computing Facilities

Overview of Computer Labs

The School of Mathematics has computer workstations in offices and in labs for individuals to log in to. Machines dedicated to remote access and computations are also available. Supercomputing resources are available on campus from the
Digital Technology Center.

Use a secure shell (ssh) to connect remotely to computers.

IT Labs operates computer labs for undergrad students in the Institute of Technology. ADCS operates labs and kiosks around campus for general use.

Classrom lab reservations can be made with Stephanie Lawson.  Access to 270d and 314 is available 24 hours/day with a door code received with your account sheet.

Math Servers

Remote Shell Server

For remote access only. See
our ssh guide.
Use these machines for quick file access, or checking mail. For long running jobs use computation servers, or lab machines.
ash.math.umn.edu
birch.math.umn.edu

Computation Servers

Simulations that require more memory, or to run for a long time can use the compute servers. These machines are for research use only. Send systems staff an email (students should include a faculty sponsor). Turnaround for access is typically a day.

aztec.math.umn.edu
Two dual-core AMD Opteron 64-bit 280 processors (2.4 GHz) with 8 GB of memory

bach.math.umn.edu - has Magma computational algebra system installed
Dual processor AMD Opteron 64-bit 2200 processors with 4 GB of memory

Supercomputers at the U

The
Minnesota Supercomputing Institute has large and small computer clusters available. Computing tutorials & workshops are offered throughout the year. MSI has small clusters in labs focused on different topics, and core clusters for high end supercomputing.

MSI Laboratories
Basic Sciences Computing (BSCL)
Computational Genetics (CGL)
Biomedical Modeling, Simulation, and Design (BMSDL)
LCSE-MSI Visualization Laboratory
Scientific Data Management (SDML) Scientific Development and Visualization (SDVL)

The MSI Core Computing Hardware has computer clusters with dozens or hundreds of processors to work on large scale jobs. To use these resources see the MSI's Core Hardware Policies and Procedures.

Other Supercomputing Resources

LCSE works on "innovative hardware and system software solutions to problems in computational science and engineering". IT faculty and students have access to the lab.
