Cellcenter/Cellthumper Servers

The Sun Fire X4600 servers provide computing capabilities configured to meet the diverse needs of  simulation and data analysis applications for cellular biology. Such applications include software for 3D stochastic simulation of protein signaling at neural synapses (Kennedy Lab), 2D and 3D image segmentation (Jensen Lab), and signal processing for high throughput genomic data (Wold Lab). All of these areas benefit significantly from multicore parallelism; however, some (in particular the simulations) can also be very memory intensive. Cellcenter1 is the larger memory, smaller CPU count server, intended for running longer or memory intensive jobs. Cellcenter2 has twice the CPU count but half the memory as Cellcenter1. Cellcenter2 should be used for CPU intensive and development jobs. All Cellcenter1 users have accounts on Cellcenter2, and vice versa.
