HyPhy is an open-source software package for the analysis of genetic sequences using techniques in phylogenetics, molecular evolution, and machine learning.  We installed HiPhy a while back but could not get it to run correctly in MPI mode.  It took…

We've installed Autodock4.2 on the cluster.  It's a popular molecular modeling simulation package and is one of the most cited docking packages in the research community.  We've installed both the 32 and 64 bit versions. …

One of our researchers has been making use of the HPC cluster to assist the Crux development team with bug fixing.  The very latest version of Crux is now installed on our cluster. The bug resulted in an incorrectly 'trained'…

Today our HPC cluster reached just over 100,000 computational hours.  99.993% of these jobs were real work, not testing by support staff.  It took only 7064 jobs to reach this total, averaging about 14 hours per job. In 12 months…

For our researchers, note the IT panel ;-)…

The ICTS HPC cluster was used as a teaching and demonstration system for the computer science honours course in Desktop High-Performance Computing.  The course coverd comparative parallel programming languages for multicore and accelerator architectures.…

We have installed a new C class blade with 64GB of RAM to try and address (excuse the pun) a memory space issue one of our users is having.  It's a HP BL460 G7 with dual 6 core 2.8GHz CPUs…

We added two new servers to the 400M series today.  This brings our CPU complement up to 176 cores.  Next week we hope to add another server to this series, however this one will have double the RAM (64GB) and …
