The Center has the following computing resources.

• A 16 processor IBM SP-2 distributed memory message passing multicomputer with each node having 128 MB memory, 2 GB disk, and a IBM Power2 processor.
• An 8 processor SGI Origin
• An 8 processor IBM J-30 shared memory multiprocessor, with 8 PowerPC 601 processors, 1 GB of memory, 14 GB disk.
• Two IBM model 42T RS/6000 workstations used as the control workstation and the front-end for the IBM SP-2 machine.
• Eight C-110 HP workstations with a 120 MHz PA 7200 CPU, 128 MB memory, 4 GB disk, 20 inch color monitor.
• Two C-110 HP fileservers, with 120 MHz PA 7200 CPU, 128 MB memory, 20 inch color monitor, and 20 GB disk.
• Ten HP 712/model 60 workstations with PA 7100 CPU, 32 MB memory, 1 GB disk, 17 inch color monitors.
• Four Dell Optiplex 5166 personal computers with 166 MHz Intel Pentium processors, 32 MB memory, 2 GB disk, 17-inch color monitors, CDROM drive.
• Various peripheral equipment such as laser printers, scanners, etc.

The above equipment are all connected via a local area Ethernet network which will be upgraded shortly into an OC-3 ATM based network operating at 155 Mbps.

Researchers at the Center have access to a high-speed network called the Metropolitan Research and Education Network (MREN) using which they can access supercomputers at other centers, namely the IBM SP-1 at Argonne National Lab, the IBM SP-2 at the Cornell Theory Center, the Intel Paragon at the San Diego Supercomputing Center, the Thinking Machines CM-5, the SGI Powerchallenge and HP/Convex Exemplar SPP-1600 at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
