General Purpose Servers available for login
vleda – Vleda is a virtual machine with 8 processors and 24gb of ram. It is the primary login node for Stern faculty and Phds.
rnd – 4 processors and 32GB of memory running 32 bit CentOS 7.7
- It is a login node.
- Application software includes Stata, R, Pyhton.Sas, matlab
- Jobs can be submitted to the GRID using the Grid Engine. (soon to be slurm).
guistatistics – This machine is for users running large, interactive jobs which are not sutiable for grid processing.
bigdata – A virtual machine with 4 processors and 8 GB of memory running 64 bit CentOS 7.7
- It is a login node.
- Jobs can be submitted to the GRID using the Grid Engine
