The Redhawk Cluster

The Research Computing Support (RCS) group manages and supports Miami's High Performance Computing Cluster (HPCC).



The Redhawk cluster is a general purpose research computing resource available to support the research community at Miami University. It is also available for use in instructional efforts, where appropriate.

The cluster consists of:

• Main login node with dual 3.2 GHz Intel Xeon CPUs using Intel's EM64T (also known as Intel64) technology with 4 GB of memory and 150 GB of local disk space.
• 128 dual processor compute nodes with 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon CPUs using Intel's EM64T (also known as Intel64) technology with 4 GB of memory and 80 GB of local disk space.
• A high performance file system with 5 terabytes (TB) of storage space that is shared to all nodes.
• A high performance InfiniBand network linking all nodes in the cluster.
• A large number of software packages including Matlab and SAS. See this page for a list of currently installed software.
• Users have the option to run an interactive batch job.

Updates:

• 10 GB of memory was recently added to Four of the nodes.

Accounts

Cluster accounts are available for all Miami faculty members, and faculty members can sponsor accounts for students and other collaborators. Visit this page to activate your cluster account or sponsor an account for a student (new window). Please e-mail the RCS group with any questions about accounts.

Documentation
